EDGE Analysis

Matheson picked up his first point of the playoffs on the Canadiens' last goal of the game. The defenseman has added seven shots on net, six hits and three blocked shots over three postseason contests. Matheson is still in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit, but his role in the playoffs will primarily be defensive.

During the slump, Matheson still had 23 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. He's often been leaned on for his defense this season, but he managed to reach the 30-point mark for the fourth straight year while adding 145 shots on net, 162 blocks, 58 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 76 outings.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson's offense has been strong to begin March -- he has two goals and two assists, as well as 10 shots on net, over his last five games. He was the only Canadien besides the team's top line to get on the scoresheet Tuesday. The 31-year-old blueliner is up to six goals, 29 points, 118 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 62 appearances.

His shot from the top of the faceoff circle 81 seconds into OT handcuffed James Reimer and gave the Habs their fifth straight win. It was Matheson's first GWG of the season and his first multi-point performance since Jan. 14. Although the 31-year-old has ceded his spot as the top offensive threat on the Montreal blue line to Lane Hutson, Matheson is still on track for a solid season -- he has five goals and 28 points through 59 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson has four points over his last nine outings while maintaining a top-four role. The 31-year-old blueliner is at 26 points, 108 shots on net, 115 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 48 appearances.

The defenseman is now at 25 points (10 on the power play), 104 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 41 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 54 appearances. Matheson continues to play heavy minutes, but the emergence of Lane Hutson as an offensive force on the blue line has left Matheson to handle a more defensive workload.

EDGE Analysis

Matheson's shot deflected high in the air and bounced into the net. That's one way to end a 10-game goal drought, which is what Matheson did. He had just one assist in that stretch, but he's maintained a top-four role because of his defensive duties. The blueliner is at four goals, 20 assists, 97 shots on net, 102 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 52 appearances this season.

Matheson scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was a dazzler for any player, let alone a defenseman. Matheson was able to convert on an end-to-end rush by himself to tie the game at 1-1 in the first period. The blueliner also helped out on Cole Caufield's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. The arrival of Lane Hutson has stolen some of Matheson's thunder, but he's still a capable all-around defenseman in his own right. For the season, the 30-year-old has three goals, 22 points, 82 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances. His tally Tuesday was his first since Nov. 30.
