Radulov assisted twice in Montreal's 3-2 win over the Bruins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov and Alex Galchenyuk are developing some nice chemistry, which was evident on Montreal's second goal. The Russian's saucer pass to the streaking Galchenyuk, who fought off a Dominic Moore backcheck to corral the puck and slip a backhander behind Boston goalie Zane McIntyre. Radulov later sent a puck to the net that led to Paul Byron's game-winner with just 62 seconds remaining in regulation.The Radulov / Galchenyuk duo lead the Habs with eight assists apiece.

Radulov scored an empty-net goal in Wednesday night's 3-0 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

"Scored" isn't an accurate description; Radulov was awarded a goal when he was hooked by Vancouver's Alexander Edler as he skated toward the empty net. It was his third of the season and gives him three points in two games since joining a line with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher.

Radulov had two assists, three hits, two penalty minutes and one blocked shot in Montreal's 2-1 win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov was moved up the Alex Galchenyuk line and skated on the top power-play unit Saturday, immediately jelling with new linemates. The two points, including one on the power play, gives the Russian seven points in nine games. On the flip side, Rudulov plays with a lot of vigor, which has led to a team-leading 18 penalty minutes. That may be something fantasy owners like, but he was in the box when the Maple Leafs scored their only goal. On balance, however, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin is pleased with his return on the investment made in Radulov.

Radulov contributed to all three of Montreal's goals during Monday's win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

It was Radulov's most productive game of the season, and after assisting the Habs' first two goals, he secured the win with an empty-net tally of his own. Radulov recorded just one shot on net, but he took a minor penalty and threw five body checks. He also joined the No. 1 power-play unit and looked fit for role going forward, which is a boon for his fantasy stock.

Radulov scored his first NHL goal -- a power-play tally -- since the 2011-12 season in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Pittsburgh. He also accumulated six penalty minutes.

EDGE Analysis

If you want to delve even deeper into the past, it was his first power-play goal in North America since way, way back on Dec. 8, 2007, as a member of the Predators. All that time he spent in the box limited his ice time to just 14:39, but it didn't stop Radulov from getting in on the scoring action. It remains unclear just what Radulov's numbers will look like when all's said and done this year, but expectations remain high in Montreal, as the Habs' offense struggled mightily last season and the Russian winger is a crucial top-six piece.

Radulov took only one shot on goal and spent four minutes in the penalty box during Thursday's season-opening win over Buffalo -- his first NHL game since the 2011-12 season.

EDGE Analysis

After several seasons of stardom in the KHL, Radulov made the decision to give North American hockey another shot, but he certainly didn't look the part of a star in the opener. Still, it's just one game, so there's no reason for his fantasy owners to worry -- the 30-year-old Russian will see plenty of opportunities to rack up points.

Radulov registered two assists with a shot on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 13:33 of ice time during Thursday's 6-1 exhibition win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov is up to a goal and four assists through three preseason games and is locked into a top-six role with the Habs. This will be his first full season in the league since 2007-08, but he did make a cameo appearance in 2011-12, scoring 13 points over 17 games, including the postseason. The 30-year-old winger has excellent offensive vision and an outstanding shot, which was on full display during his tenure in the KHL (581 points over 483 games). Although some peaks and valleys throughout the season should be expected, Radulov has the upside to be a fantasy force.

Radulov had a hand in two first-period, power-play goals in Montreal's preseason win over Washington on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov planted himself in front of the net in prime position to tip in a Greg Pateryn shot from the point to give Montreal a lead, and then fed Nathan Beaulieu with a cross-ice pass, setting up the Habs second goal. The power play was a drag on the Canadiens' offense last season, so Radulov's efforts Tuesday were a welcome sign to a team starving for offense.

Radulov will skate on Montreal's second line, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov is the latest in a string of offseason forward acquisitions general manager Marc Bergevin has made, and the GM's hoping Radulov performs better than P.A. Parenteau, Danny Briere, Zack Kassian or Alexander Semin. He'll be skating with Tomas Plekanec at center and Andrew Shaw on left wing. The trio are brand new to each other, so they'll need to foster chemistry, but the parts are there. Shaw's an agitator, Plekanec's a passer, and Radulov is a scorer.

Alexander Radulov netted two goals, including the game-winner, in Russia's 4-0 win over Norway. It wasn't a beauty by any stretch of the imagination, but it got the job done. Radulov also recorded an assist, giving him six points in four games. Ilya Kovalchuk and Alexei Tereshenko accounted for the Russian's other markers. Pavel Datsyuk assisted on three of Russia's four goals.
