Evans scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has scored in consecutive contests. The 29-year-old forward continues to fill a bottom-six role, but he's moving toward more of a two-way contribution rather than pure defense. The veteran forward has seven goals, six assists, 42 shots on net, 47 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 40 appearances.

Evans scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has a point in each of the last two games. The 29-year-old is looking more like himself now, supplying a little depth scoring to go with defensive play in a bottom-six role, though he often sees more ice time than that usage would suggest. He's up to six goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 46 hits, 28 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 39 appearances.

Evans logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Evans picked up his first point in four games since returning from a lower-body injury. He missed 13 contests with the issue, and he's retaken a third-line spot. The 29-year-old has 11 points, 38 shots on net, 45 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 38 appearances this season. Evans should be a regular in the lineup thanks to his defensive prowess.

Evans (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being described as a game-time decision for Saturday's clash against Ottawa, Evans appears ready to return to the lineup. He hasn't played since Dec. 20 due to the injury. Evan is likely to serve in a middle-six capacity, and his return might result in Sammy Blais being a healthy scratch versus the Senators.

Evans (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's game in Ottawa, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans has missed the last 13 games after getting hurt Dec. 20 versus Pittsburgh. Evans has five goals, five assists and 44 hits in 34 contests this season. He will need to come off injured reserve to return to the lineup.

Evans (lower body) is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was already on injured reserve after suffering the injury Dec. 20. He has five goals and 10 points in 34 appearances this season. His absence might lead to Sammy Blais being in the lineup regularly. When Evans is healthy, he should resume his middle-six role.

Evans (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens recalled Sammy Blais from AHL Laval in a corresponding move. Evans suffered the injury in Saturday's 4-0 win over Pittsburgh. He will miss at least the next two games, starting with Sunday's rematch against the Penguins, after moving to injured reserve. Evans has five goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 44 hits through 34 appearances this season.

Evans (lower body) won't be with the Canadiens for their game in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was injured Saturday and will undergo further evaluation. The Canadiens don't have any extra forwards available, so it's possible Jayden Struble will draw into the lineup as a seventh defenseman instead. Evans' status for the rest of the road trip, which wraps around the holiday break, has yet to be determined. Phillip Danault (illness) is expected to link up with the team in Boston after being traded from the Kings on Friday and could step in for Evans in Tuesday's contest against the Bruins.

Evans suffered a lower-body injury and won't return to Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Evans logged just 1:57 of ice time across three shifts before exiting the game. The Canadiens would be down to 11 healthy forwards if Evans isn't an option for Sunday's rematch in Pittsburgh, which could lead to a call-up from the minors.

Evans scored a goal, put two shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Evans gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Rangers promptly surged back with two goals of their own prior to the first intermission. The 29-year-old winger is up to five goals, nine points, 34 shots on net, 42 hits and 23 blocks through 30 games this season. He is currently centering the third line and has continued to provide all-around stat coverage. There are likely better options for higher-end scoring in fantasy, but Evans should continue to be a steady source of category coverage when he's in the lineup.
