Texier (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Texier was ruled out after the second intermission. If it's just a minor injury, he may not have to miss time. The holiday break means the Canadiens won't be in action again until Sunday versus the Lightning.

Texier scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Texier opened the scoring in the first period, but Montreal's lead lasted precisely 39 seconds before Carl Grundstrom scored to even things up. Montreal would end up giving up four unanswered goals en route to a loss. Texier has three goals, six points, 16 shots on net and 10 hits in 11 games with the Canadiens.

Texier scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Texier has earned three points over his last three games and looks to be settling into a bottom-six role with the Canadiens. He's earned five points over 10 outings since he was signed following his contract termination with the Blues. Overall, the 26-year-old is at six points, 20 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Texier scored a goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

This was Texier's first goal with the Canadiens. He's earned three points over eight games since signing with Montreal following his unconditional release from the Blues. Texier has a total of four points, 15 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances this season, so he's unlikely to produce enough offense to be a factor in fantasy, though he is getting steadier playing time with the Canadiens.

Texier logged an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Texier was waived unconditionally by the Blues last Saturday and linked up with the Canadiens on a one-year deal a day later. This was his Montreal debut, and he picked up a helper in 13:41 of ice time. The 26-year-old has struggled in recent years to establish himself as a full-time NHL option -- he's played in more than 50 games just once in his first six campaigns. He's earned two helpers, eight shots on net and 10 hits over nine outings this season, but fantasy managers can afford to wait and see if he'll be a good fit for the Canadiens.

Texier signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Montreal on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Texier didn't have to wait long to land with a new team after having the final season of his two-year, $4.2 million contract terminated by the Blues on Sunday. He has earned one assist, seven shots on net, one blocked shot and nine hits across eight appearances this season. Injuries to Kirby Dach (foot), Alex Newhook (ankle) and Patrik Laine (abdomen) should give Texier a chance to earn a regular spot in the lineup with the Canadiens.

Texier was placed on unconditional waivers by St. Louis on Saturday to terminate his contract, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming he clears, Texier will become an unrestricted free agent. He has provided one assist, seven shots on goal, one blocked shot and nine hits across eight appearances with St. Louis this season.

Texier is slated to be waived by the Blues on Thursday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jake Neighbours (leg) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday against the Flyers, and Texier is set to lose his spot on the Blues' roster as a result. However, if Texier clears waivers, he's expected to be assigned to AHL Springfield. Over eight appearances with the Blues this year, Texier has recorded an assist, nine hits, a blocked shot and two PIM while averaging 10:15 of ice time.

Texier notched an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Texier has gotten to play the last two games while Alexei Toropchenko (upper body) has been sidelined. The 26-year-old Texier is likely to be a rotational option on the fourth line throughout the year, offering minimal fantasy value. He put up 11 points over 31 regular-season outings in a similar role last year.

Texier logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Texier has earned two shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating over his two playoff appearances. His spot in the lineup isn't safe -- Mathieu Joseph is in the mix as well, and both players could end up in the press box if the Blues' postseason run is long enough to allow Dylan Holloway (lower body) to return. After a regular season with just 11 points, 50 shots on net and 20 hits over 31 games, Texier has minimal scoring upside for fantasy.
