Blais scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Laval's 6-4 loss to Syracuse on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Blais has five points over his last two games. He's up to seven goals and 22 points through 20 AHL outings this season. If he keeps piling up points, he should be at the top of the list for a call-up to the Canadiens should the need arise.

Blais scored two goals in AHL Laval's 9-3 win over Rochester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blais had been limited to two assists over his last six games. The winger is up to six goals and 19 points over 19 appearances in the AHL this season. He's a candidate for a call-up to the Canadiens if they need a depth option later in the campaign.

Blais was placed on waivers Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis

Blais recorded a goal, an assist, two shots on goal and seven hits in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Blais hasn't been the most consistent forward this season, but his numbers have improved vastly since being claimed off waivers Nov. 27. Aside from this being his first multi-point game since Oct. 29 against Columbus, he's also cracked the scoresheet in three of his five outings with Montreal. It seems like all he needed was a change of scenery to turn his season around.

Blais scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Blais has two points, nine hits and a plus-2 rating over two games since the Canadiens summoned him from AHL Laval. The 29-year-old Quebec native has slotted right into a fourth-line role, but he could move up if he stays productive. He's at two goals, five points, nine shots, 37 hits and six PIM over 10 appearances between Montreal and Toronto this year.

Blais posted an assist, six hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Blais was called up earlier in the day and slotted onto the fourth line in place of Jake Evans (lower body), who landed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. This was Blais' first game with the Canadiens after signing with the team in July, as he logged three points in eight games with the Maple Leafs following a waiver claim. Montreal claimed him back in late November. Blais' stay in the NHL could be short, as Phillip Danault (illness) will be with the Canadiens for Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

Blais has been recalled from AHL Laval by the Canadiens, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Blais is back in the NHL for the first time since returning to the Canadiens via waivers from Toronto. The 29-year-old appeared in eight games this season with the Maple Leafs, registering a goal and two assists. Blais will likely draw into the lineup right away given the multitude of injuries to the Montreal forward group.

Blais was claimed off waivers by the Canadiens from Toronto on Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Blais was claimed by Toronto from Montreal before the start of the season and returns to the Habs, who inked him to a one-year contract July 1. Blais had a goal and two assists in eight games with Toronto. Montreal has reassigned Blais to AHL Laval.

Blais was placed on waivers Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs also reassigned Jacob Quillan to AHL Toronto to activate Auston Matthews (lower body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) from injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's game against Columbus. Blais has a goal, three points and 28 hits in eight appearances with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26. He will head to the minors if he goes unclaimed.
