EDGE Analysis

Dvorak's drop pass to Lane Hutson led to Brendan Gallagher's tally that put Montreal up, 2-1, midway through the second period. The assist was the third of season for Dvorak.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak set up Joel Armia's empty-netter to seal the win. The 28-year-old Dvorak saw 16:10 of ice time Saturday, his second-highest total of the season. The defensive center has two assists, eight shots on goal, seven blocked shots, three hits and a minus-4 rating through eight appearances. He's likely to spend the bulk of the campaign in a bottom-six role.

Dvorak had a power-play assist and one hit in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak set up a wide-open Emil Heineman for Montreal's first goal midway through the first period for his first point of the season.

Dvorak has just 27 seconds of power-play ice time through three games this season.

Dvorak (pectoral) scored twice Tuesday in 9-3 romp over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first game since Dec. 30 because of a torn pectoral muscle. Dvorak has skated in just 26 games this season and delivered five goals and four assists. But with a handful of games remaining, Dvorak could push hard to prove his mettle for a middle-six role in 2024-25.

Dvorak (pectoral) will return to action Tuesday when the Habs host the Flyers, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak has played only 25 games this season, recording three goals and four assists to go along with 32 shots on goal. The 28-year-old has managed to score 10 or more goals in his previous four seasons but likely won't hit that mark this season. He will probably slide onto the third or fourth line, as he hasn't played since Dec. 30.

Dvorak (pectoral) is now considered day-to-day and could return before the end of the 2023-24 campaign, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak was originally expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing pectoral surgery in early January, but it appears he could get into a few games before the campaign comes to a close. He picked up seven points through 25 games before undergoing surgery.

Dvorak (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak was already ruled out for the season so this is simply a procedural move. He ended the 2023-24 campaign with seven points in 25 games. His status for training camp should become clearer over the summer.

Dvorak will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign due to a torn pectoral injury. He will undergo surgery Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak's year never really got underway after he missed the first 10 games of the campaign due to a knee injury that cost him the end of the 2022-23 season as well. In his 25 appearances this campaign, the 27-year-old winger managed three goals and four assists, including one power-play point while averaging 15:56 of ice time. Without Dvorak on the squad, Sean Monahan will likely move into a second-line center role. While not official yet, Dvorak probably will be designated for long-term injured reserve in the coming days in order to free up extra cap space for the Canadiens.

Dvorak (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Dallas, according to coach Martin St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak will miss his second straight contest. It's unclear at this time when he will be available to return. Dvorak didn't take part in the morning skate Tuesday because he was receiving treatments. Montreal is expected to dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards again, so Johnny Kovacevic will remain in the lineup.
