Gurianov had an assist, one shot on goal, two blocked shots and two penalty minutes over 14:11 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Gurianov hit Jonathan Drouin in stride, setting up Montreal's second goal, and gave the newest Canadien seven points in 12 games since joining the team. Six of those seven points were posted in the last seven contests. Gurianov earned his way into the top-six and is getting 15:41 TOI per game, nearly four minutes more than he was averaging in Dallas.

Gurianov scored a goal Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The guy is hot -- it was Gurianov's fourth goal in five games. He took a feed from Josh Anderson in the second period, and he one-timed the puck from the left circle. Montreal has been a good fit for Gurianov, who has six points, including five goals, in 11 games after putting up just nine points in 43 games in Dallas earlier this year.

Gurianov scored a goal and assisted on another in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh. His night included four shots on net and two hits over 16:11 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Jonathan Drouin's hard work in the corner against two Penguin defenders led to the Canadiens' third goal in a six-minute stretch of the first period. It was the third consecutive game with tally for Gurianov and fourth straight with a point. The 2015 first-round pick of Dallas has another 14 games in the regular season to convince the Canadiens he's worth a $2.9 million qualifying offer. For that, the forward needs to not only provide offense but improve his play away from the puck, as Arpon Basu and Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reported earlier this week. "We made the trade planning to keep him, but every player has a job to do, and our job is to evaluate them," general manager Kent Hughes said. "So over the final games, we'll be following him closely." Montreal's had some luck with reclamation projects, like Kirby Dach, under coach Martin St. Louis, who ignited Cole Caufield's (shoulder) scoring touch last season.

Gurianov contributed a power-play goal in Montreal's 8-4 loss to Colorado on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gurianov found the back of the net late in the second period, narrowing Colorado's lead to 6-2. It was his fifth goal and 13th point in 51 contests in 2022-23. Gurianov is on a three-game scoring streak, supplying two goals and three points in that span.

Gurianov scored a goal on four shots and delivered two hits over 15:59 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Rem Pitlick picked Damon Severson's pocket on the forecheck and fed Gurianov, who finished with a one-timer past Akira Schmid. It was Gurianov's second goal in seven games since joining Montreal and second consecutive game with a point for Dallas' first-round pick in 2015. With several forwards still out due to injury, the Canadiens will give Gurianov ample TOI to provide the consistency that's eluded him.

Gurianov had an assist, two shots on goal and one hit over 12:53 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

After a defensive zone turnover by the Rangers, Gurianov fed Kaiden Guhle for Montreal's first goal just 35 seconds into the contest. He's filling a role on the third line and has two points in six games since the Canadiens acquired him via trade. With news that the timelines of Brendan Gallagher (lower body) and Kirby Dach (lower body) were pushed out to later in the month, Gurianov will continue in a middle-six role.

Gurianov had two shots on goal and one blocked shot over 13:34 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Gurianov opened the game on the top line, but by the end of the second period, he was replaced by Jesse Ylonen. The demotion came after his lackadaisical effort following a Vegas takeaway that resulted in their third goal. He didn't get on the ice over the final five minutes of the game. It was Gurianov's lowest TOI in four games since joining the Canadiens.

Gurianov scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Gurianov needed just two games to get his first goal with the Canadiens after he was dealt from the Stars earlier in the week. The 25-year-old winger has been given a look in a top-six role with his new team -- the pressure is significantly lower since the Habs aren't in the playoff race. He's at three goals, seven helpers, a minus-1 rating, 78 shots on net and 26 hits through 45 contests this season.

Gurianov had six shots on goal and one hit over 17:02 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Gurianov's first game since the Canadiens acquired the forward, and he was handed a plum assignment on a reconstituted top line with Nick Suzuki and Mike Hoffman. The 25-year-old led Montreal in shots and flashed evidence as to why the Stars selected him in the first round of the 2015 draft. He was on ice nearly five minutes more than his season average (12:08) in Dallas. Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes hopes to salvage value out of Gurianov much like he has with Kirby Dach (lower body), another first-rounder whose star has dimmed since being drafted in 2019.

Gurianov was traded by Dallas to Montreal on Sunday in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov.

EDGE Analysis

Gurianov has produced two goals and seven assists in 43 games this season. He has also been credited with 70 shots on net, 17 blocks and 23 hits. Gurianov will probably occupy a bottom-six forward spot with the Canadiens.
