Struble agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.825 million contract with Montreal on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Struble has played in 56 regular-season games in each of the past two campaigns, registering a combined five goals and 18 assists along the way. With the acquisition of Noah Dobson this offseason, the Canadiens' blue line is somewhat crowded, so it's possible Struble finds himself serving as a healthy scratch more often than not this season.

Struble logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Struble snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. Since Kaiden Guhle returned from a quadriceps injury, Struble has been on the third pairing and has done enough to keep Arber Xhekaj out of the lineup when all Montreal defensemen have been available. Struble is at 13 points, 47 shots on net, 117 hits, 54 blocked shots, 52 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 53 contests this season.

Struble notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Struble has two helpers over his last four games, as well as a plus-6 rating through nine contests in March. The 23-year-old defenseman remains on the second pairing and doesn't see power-play time, but he's at little risk of losing his place in the lineup since the Canadiens aren't carrying an extra healthy defenseman. Struble is at 10 points through 42 appearances, matching his offensive output from 56 games as a rookie a year ago. He's tacked on 94 hits, 44 blocked shots, 48 PIM and 40 shots on net in 2024-25.

Struble posted an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Struble ended February with a helper in three straight games, but this was his first point over six outings in March. The 23-year-old defenseman is holding onto a bottom-four role for the Canadiens while Kaiden Guhle (quadriceps) remains out indefinitely. Struble is at nine points, 36 shots on net, 90 hits, 42 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 39 appearances. He's not a big scorer, so his fantasy appeal is limited to deep formats that value his contributions in hits and PIM.

Struble notched an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Struble got on the scoresheet for the first time since Nov. 26 versus Utah. His point drought was just 14 games -- the blueliner has been a frequent scratch and even went on a conditioning loan with AHL Laval. Struble is likely to see steady playing time for as long as Kaiden Guhle (quadriceps) is out. For the season, Struble has six points, 30 shots on net, 64 hits, 29 blocked shots, 37 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 31 appearances.

Struble blocked one shot and had one hit in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Struble, who was on a conditioning assignment at AHL Laval, was called up Thursday and should take regular shifts on the third pairing for a stretch. He's taking over for the injured Kaiden Guhle, who is set to miss an indefinite amount of time after undergoing surgery Wednesday to repair a lacerated quadricep muscle. Struble has two goals and three assists over 26 outings.

Struble was recalled from AHL Laval on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Struble was sent to the AHL for a conditioning assignment Friday, but he'll rejoin the Canadiens ahead of Thursday's home game against the Wild. The 23-year-old was a frequent healthy scratch before being sent down, but he could see an uptick in playing time if Kaiden Guhle (lower body) is forced to miss time.

Struble was assigned to AHL Laval on a conditioning assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Struble hasn't appeared in a game for the Canadiens since a win over the Capitals on Jan. 10, but he should have a chance to see some ice time while he's with the AHL club. The 23-year-old will likely rejoin Montreal following a brief stint in the minors.

Struble was scratched for the third game in a row in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Struble played in the first four games of January, racking up 12 hits and six PIM in a third-pairing role while filling in for David Savard while he battled an upper-body injury. Struble could still push Arber Xhekaj for a spot in the lineup, but neither blueliner offers much outside of physicality. For the season, Struble has five points, 53 hits, 25 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 26 appearances.

Struble was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Struble took a seat for the second time in three games, clearing a roster spot for David Savard, who returned from an upper-body injury. Struble had been a scheduled scratch for the previous game Thursday, per Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette, but he won a reprieve when Savard was a no-go. Otherwise, it would have been three consecutive games as a healthy scratch.
