Struble (upper body) won't play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Struble picked up the injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now. Struble's next chance to draw into the lineup will be Thursday against the Bruins. The 23-year-old produced 10 points in 56 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Struble was demoted to the minors Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Struble saw action in 56 NHL games in his rookie campaign this year, registering three goals, seven assists and 120 hits while averaging 16:07 of ice time. Due to his limited offensive upside, the 22-year-old blueliner likely won't emerge as a viable fantasy option in 2024-25.

Struble was recalled from AHL Laval on Friday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Struble was briefly returned to the minors to make him eligible for the AHL postseason. He has accounted for three goals, four assists and 79 hits in 41 games with the Canadiens this campaign.

Struble was sent down to the AHL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Struble has played 41 games for Montreal this season, registering three goals and four assists. He was likely only sent down to become eligible for the AHL playoffs, so look for Struble to rejoin the big club ahead of Saturday's game versus Toronto.

Struble (lower body) will return to action Tuesday versus Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Struble will replace Johnny Kovacevic, who will be a healthy scratch, in the lineup following a four-game absence. The 22-year-old Struble has chipped three goals and four assists in 39 contests this season.

Struble (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Lightning, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is Struble's fourth straight absence with the injury. He remains on the road trip for the Canadiens, so it's possible he could be ready to play Tuesday versus the Predators.

Struble (lower body) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Panthers, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Struble is with the Canadiens on their road trip, but he will miss a third straight game. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Lightning.

Struble (lower body) will accompany the Canadiens on their upcoming four-game road trip, which will begin Thursday against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Struble hasn't played in the Canadiens' past two contests, but the announcement that he'll travel with the team suggests he might not be out for too much longer. The 22-year-old has three goals, seven points, 39 PIM, 73 hits and 37 blocks across 39 appearances in 2023-24. Once Struble is healthy, he'll likely serve on the third pairing.

Struble (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Struble will miss a second straight contest with his lower-body issue. The 22-year-old rookie defenseman has collected just seven points through 39 contests this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his availability.

Struble (lower body) remains questionable ahead of Tuesday's clash with Arizona, Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Struble has managed just three points in his last 23 contests, few fantasy managers will be impacted if he misses a second game due to his lower-body issue. Even once cleared to play, the blueliner is far from a lock to replace Jordan Harris in the lineup.
