Texier (lower body) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Sabres.

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.

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.

Texier will be replaced by Kirby Dach, who is returning from a foot injury, on the top line Tuesday. The 26-year-old Texier has registered seven goals, 16 points, 46 shots, 25 hits and a plus-7 rating over 27 appearances with the Canadiens since being placed on unconditional waivers by the Blues on Nov. 22. The Canadiens' next game is at home Thursday versus the Sabres.

Texier signed a two-year, $5 million contract extension with the Canadiens on Wednesday, PuckPedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Texier got off to a slow start as he struggled to carve out a consistent role with the Canadiens, he has flourished over the past month in a spot on the top line next to Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki. Over Texier's last eight games, he has four multi-point performances, including back-to-back three-point games Jan. 7 and 8. Overall, the 26-year-old forward has seven goals, 10 assists, 50 shots on net and 32 hits across 33 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to play big minutes for the Canadiens during the team's push for a playoff spot in the competitive Atlantic Division.

EDGE Analysis

Texier now has four multi-point efforts over seven games in January, earning four goals and six assists so far this month. The 26-year-old is clearly benefiting from his even-strength role alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, as well as a spot on the top power-play unit. Texier is up to a total of 17 points, 48 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-7 rating over 32 appearances between the Canadiens and the Blues this season, but 16 of those points have come since he joined Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first NHL hat trick. There must be something in the water because Texier has exploded with back-to-back three-point games (four goals, two assists). His first snipe Thursday stood as the game winner. Getting out of St. Louis and onto Montreal's first line has breathed new life into this guy.
