EDGE Analysis

Matheson played a game of pass with forward Nick Suzuki, who scored from the right faceoff circle to give Montreal a 2-1 lead in the second period. It was Matheson's second point (first on the power play) in four games since returning from an abdominal injury that cost him the season's first 17 contests. There don't appear to be any issues with conditioning for Matheson, who is averaging 23:48 TOI, including 2:47 on the power play.
