Pitlick had an assist, two shots on goal, one hit, one blocked shot and two penalty minutes over 19:23 of ice time in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick's shot attempt went wide, but it rebounded back to Alexander Romanov on the other side of the ice, and the defenseman's tally began Montreal's comeback from a two-goal deficit. It was the fourth point in two games for Pitlick, who had three points in Wednesday's loss to Vancouver. An unheralded transaction when the Canadiens claimed him off waivers from the Wild in mid-January, Pitlick has turned into a valuable piece. He has points in 11 of 22 games played while in a Montreal sweater and currently centers the second line.

Pitlick scored a goal, dished two assists, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Pitlick's second three-point effort of the season after he had a hat trick Nov. 13 versus the Kraken as a member of the Wild. He's formed an effective depth line with Artturi Lehkonen and Jake Evans in recent contests. Pitlick is up to 24 points, 36 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 41 appearances. His steady scoring rate from a third-line role could have some value in deeper fantasy formats, though the 24-year-old doesn't typically add much outside of scoring numbers.

Pitlick logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick took an outlet pass from Mike Hoffman and set up Ben Chiarot for the goal at 1:03 of the extra session. The 24-year-old Pitlick has earned five points in his last 10 outings while regularly playing in a middle-six role in that span. The forward is up to 21 points, 34 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 39 contests between the Canadiens and the Wild, and his production hasn't been affected much one way or the other since he was claimed on waivers by Montreal on Jan. 12.

Pitlick produced an assist in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick earned the secondary helper on a Jake Evans empty-netter late in the third period. It's been a solid February for Pitlick, who has two goals and two assists in his last seven outings. The 24-year-old has fit right into the Canadiens' middle six. He's at 20 points, 30 shots on net and a minus-4 rating in 36 contests between Montreal and Minnesota this season.

Pitlick scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick tallied late in the second period for the Canadiens' fifth goal in a rather lopsided win. The 24-year-old has earned two goals and an assist in six games in February. Pitlick has 10 tallies, 19 points, 29 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-5 rating in 35 contests between the Wild and the Canadiens this year. He'd be on pace for a 40-point campaign in a full 82-game season, though he hasn't added much beyond the scoring numbers.

Pitlick scored the shootout-winner in Sunday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick, who hasn't scored in regulation or overtime in four games, was the second shooter selected by interim head coach Marty St. Louis, and the counter-intuitive move worked. He deked Ilya Sorokin to the backhand, then quickly shifted to the forehand for the tally. It turned out to be the winning score, which gave Montreal its second consecutive win and first such winning streak of the season. Pitlick has been a nice story for the Canadiens, scoring seven points in 14 games with the Habs while scoring on 21.4 percent of his shots (three goals, 14 shots).

Pitlick had an assist, one hit and one blocked shot in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick and Jake Evans combined to keep the puck in Buffalo's end before Jeff Petry tallied midway through the second period. The 24-year-old forward now has seven points in 12 games since being claimed off waivers from the Wild. Aside from his work on the goal, Pitlick logged TOI on the second-unit power play, something he's done in all 12 games with Montreal.

Pitlick scored a goal on five shots and had two hits over 18:07 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick was moved up to the third line in the first game under the direction of Montreal interim head coach Martin St. Louis. The forward camped out at the crease and pounced a loose puck to score his third goal and sixth point in 10 games since joining Montreal. That production led to a role on the second-unit power play, as Pitlick had a season-high 2:14 with the man advantage.

Pitlick had one hit and finished minus-3 over 8:38 of ice time in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The returns of Brendan Gallagher and Paul Byron had an impact on Pitlick's ice time. He was averaging 16:43 over eight games since the Canadiens claimed him off waivers, but he was slotted in on the fourth line Sunday and saw a reduction.

Pitlick had two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Pitlick was the primary helper on both goals by linemate Jake Evans. It was the second consecutive game on the scoresheet for Pitlick, who scored in Monday's loss to the Wild. The 25-year-old Ontarian is making a home for himself in Quebec with five points in seven games since Montreal claimed him off waivers. He's also getting time on the power play, averaging 1:29 on the man-advantage unit.
