EDGE Analysis

Texier had been a healthy scratch for the last five games before jumping into the lineup for Cole Caufield (illness). The 26-year-old Texier took a top-line spot and made the most of it with a tally at 17:29 of the second period. Texier is up to eight goals, 20 points, 61 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-10 rating over 40 appearances between the Canadiens and the Blues this season. He's not a guarantee to be in the lineup, but he's produced fairly well when given the chance.

EDGE Analysis

He has earned 19 points, 58 shots on net, 41 hits and a plus-9 rating over 39 appearances this season between Montreal and St. Louis, with 18 of those points coming in 31 contests for the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Texier will be replaced by Joe Veleno in the lineup. The 26-year-old Texier recently missed two games due to a lower-body issue, so it's possible this is an aggravation of that injury. He will be day-to-day ahead of Monday's game versus the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old is getting top-line usage at even strength, which makes him intriguing in fantasy. For the season, he has seven goals, 11 assists, 57 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-9 rating over 37 outings between the Canadiens and the Blues.
