Matheson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
It was a surprising goal-scorer's goal. Matheson skated around Sens' defender Thomas Chabot and flipped his own rebound over Mads Sogaard. He has five points (two goals, three assists) during a four-game point streak. Overall, Matheson has four goals and 16 points in 25 games with Montreal. He may be a solid waiver play to boost you during fantasy playoffs.

Matheson had a power-play assist and two blocked shots over 24:28 of ice time in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Matheson, who was the hero in Saturday's win over the Islanders, was the primary helper on Rafael Harvey-Pinard's power-play tally in the second period. It was the third consecutive game with a point for Matheson, who has logged five points in nine contests since returning from a lower-body injury.

Matheson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
After Kirby Dach tipped home Matheson's point shot with just over three minutes left in the third period to tie the game at 3-3, the blueliner made sure the game wouldn't get to a shootout. He found Mike Hoffman coming out of the penalty box inside the final minute of OT to create a two-on-one break, then banged home the rebound after Hoffman's shot was stopped by Semyon Varlamov. Matheson has had flashes of productivity when healthy this season but his healthy stretches have been all too infrequent, and the 28-year-old has two goals and 10 points through only 18 games.

Matheson picked up an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Seeing his first game action since Dec. 17 after recovering from a lower-body injury, Matheson immediately slotted back onto Montreal's top power-play unit and led the club in ice time with the man advantage (3:04) while also adding four hits, one shot and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. The 28-year-old blueliner hasn't been able to stay healthy this season, playing in only 11 games between stints on the shelf, but he's been surprisingly productive when on the ice with a goal and seven points.

Matheson (lower body) will return to the lineup versus Winnipeg on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Matheson will be back in action after having played just once in the Habs' previous 18 contests. With his injury woes seemingly behind him, Matheson should be in line to link up with the No. 1 power-play unit where he figures to offer decent fantasy value.
