Dvorak (upper body) has been cleared to play and will be available for Tuesday's game against the Devils, per coach Dominique Ducharme, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ducharme added that Dvorak was not diagnosed with a concussion on the Jared Spurgeon hit that caused the upper-body injury back on Jan. 24. Dvorak will need to be removed from IR before Tuesday's game in order to suit up.

The Canadiens placed Dvorak (upper body) on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether Dvorak, initially expected to return after the break, has suffered any setbacks or if the move is just procedural. Montreal's next game is Tuesday versus New Jersey, and it remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old will return for that matchup.

Dvorak (concussion, upper body) will be out until after the All-Star Break, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news means Dvorak, who sat out Thursday versus Anaheim, will miss at least two more games. The winger has tallied seven goals and nine assists through 34 games this season.

Dvorak (concussion) will not participate in Thursday's game against Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Dvorak has averaged 17:48 of ice time -- 2:43 during the man advantage -- and recorded four points over his first six appearances since returning from injured reserve Jan. 12. He skated for 36 seconds in Monday's game before exiting with a concussion. His status will remain day-to-day for Saturday's game against Edmonton.

Dvorak left Monday's game against the Wild and did not return after failing a concussion test, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak left early in the first period, getting just 36 seconds of ice time in Monday's loss. The 25-year-old will be further evaluated over the next few days before Thursday's game against the Ducks. There's rarely a concrete timeline when it comes to head injuries, so he can be considered questionable until more information becomes available.

Dvorak had a power-play assist, one shot on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

After Darcy Kuemper stopped Mike Hoffman's shot, Dvorak pounced on the rebound and slipped a pass to Nick Suzuki, who had a wide-open net. It was the third consecutive game with a power-play goal for the Canadiens, which ranks 31st in the NHL with a 13.3-percent success rate on the man advantage. Dvorak has points in three straight with two goals and two assists, including two points on the power play.

Dvorak logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak helped out on a Mike Hoffman goal in the third period. With two goals and an assist in his last two outings, the 25-year-old Dvorak has shaken off a four-game point drought. The American forward has 15 points, 53 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 32 contests, so his fantasy value is more likely to come from his non-scoring production.

Dvorak scored two goals in a 5-3 win over the Stars on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak had not scored a goal since Dec. 4 against Nashville before Tuesday's output. The 25-year-old scored on the power-play in the second period before adding another in the third period. Dvorak is up to 14 points in 30 games.

Dvorak (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Bruins, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak missed the Canadiens' last seven games, though he could have missed more if not for their season being paused in early January. The 25-year-old will draw in as the second-line center Wednesday. He's struggled on offense with 12 points and 47 shots on net through 27 games.

Dvorak (lower body) was cleared for contact at Monday's practice session, practicing in a regular jersey, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dvorak has been out of action since Dec. 7 against the Lightning, a stretch of seven games on the shelf. Barring any setbacks, the 25-year-old Dvorak could be an option to squaring off with the Bruins on Wednesday, though he'll need to first be activated off injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, the winger was stuck in a bit of a slump with just one point in his previous four contests.
