Ylonen provided a goal and an assist in the Canadiens' 5-2 win over Philadelphia on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen's marker at 6:26 of the third period extended Montreal's lead to 4-1. He has a goal and seven points in 17 contests with Montreal this season. The 23-year-old has been doing well offensively over his last six NHL games, providing a goal and four points. Ylonen also has nine goals and 29 points in 36 contests with AHL Laval in 2022-23.

Ylonen had an assist and blocked one shot over 9:36 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's fourth line gave the Canadiens an early 1-0 lead, when Ylonen fired a perfect pass to Michael Pezzetta who eventually beat Antti Raanta. It was the second assist in three games for Ylonen, who has four assists over 14 games since being called up to Montreal.

Ylonen had an assist and one blocked shot over 9:58 of ice time in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen had the secondary helper on Alex Belzile's first-period tally to get Montreal on the board. The assist was Ylonen's third in 11 games since being called up in January. He had been getting TOI on the top line but has since dropped back to the fourth line.

Ylonen was promoted from AHL Laval on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen is expected to slot into a prominent role for the Canadiens following his recall, skating on the third line and the second power-play unit versus the Islanders on Saturday. He's picked up two helpers through 10 top-level appearances this season.

Ylonen was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen has produced two assists and a minus-4 rating through 10 contests this season. The 23-year-old will have an opportunity to play during the NHL's All-Star break, but with the Canadiens' brutal injury situation, he is likely to be back with the big club ahead of its Feb. 11 game versus the Islanders.

Ylonen had an assist, two shots on goal and two hits over 14:52 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen opened the game on the top line -- the second consecutive game for the rookie -- but was dropped to the second line during the second period, when the Panthers scored five goals (four on the power play). He provided assistance on Josh Anderson's tally, his second assist in five games since being called up. With so many injuries hitting Montreal all at once, Ylonen could remain in a top-six role.

Ylonen had two shots on goal over 17:30 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen was moved to the first line in the wake of three forwards being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Montreal also made Jonathan Drouin (undisclosed) inactive for the game. All of that means more playing time, and perhaps an expanded role, for Ylonen. The Canadiens are intrigued by his offensive potential, and Ylonen could get an extended run with top-liners Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, the most productive scorers on the team.

Ylonen had one hit and two blocked shots over 12:34 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen opened the game on the fourth, but he took shifts with the top line after Jake Evans departed with a lower-body injury. The injury forced adjustments, which included Kirby Dach dropped from the first-line winger to second-line center, while Ylonen and fellow fourth-liner Jonathan Drouin rotated on the elite line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This was Ylonen's second game with the team since being called up earlier in the week, and he was given over four minutes more of TOI. The Canadiens are intrigued by his offensive potential, but it's unclear if Ylonen will be part of the top line when the Habs face the Rangers on Sunday, a 5:00 PM ET start.

Ylonen had an assist and one shot on goal over 8:21 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen was called up earlier in the day from AHL Laval and took a spot on the fourth line. He was second on the Rocket with 27 points in 34 games this season prior to his callup. He showed off that offense with a deft pass to set up Kirby Dach for Montreal's second goal, hinting at the potential value he could bring to the Canadiens. He recorded two goals and three assists over 14 games for the Habs in 2021-22, not bad for what was an offensively challenged team. That part of the game works for Ylonen, but it's his performance in the defensive zone that keeps from solidifying a spot on the NHL roster.

Ylonen was elevated from AHL Laval on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ylonen has played exclusively in the minors this season, appearing in 34 games for the Rocket in which he notched eight goals and 19 helpers. The 2018 second-round pick could challenge for a spot in the lineup, likely at the expense of Michael Pezzetta or Mike Hoffman, both of whom have spent time as a healthy scratch this season.
