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.

Blais (upper body) was back at practice Wednesday, telling reporters, "We did some scans and I'm all good," David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Blais, at one point, he was spitting out blood, but it seems he avoided any serious injury. With his assist versus the Blues on Tuesday, the 29-year-old winger brought his five-game pointless streak to a close. Once the Leafs start getting back some of their injured forwards, Blais will likely find himself serving as a healthy scratch. In the meantime, he figures to remain in a third-lone role alongside youngster Jacob Quillan.

Blais (undisclosed) did not finish Tuesday's game versus the Blues, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blais was only in the lineup because Matthew Knies (lower body) wasn't able to play. Blais was coughing up blood, which forced his exit from the contest. His status for Thursday versus the Blue Jackets is not yet known.

Blais scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged five hits in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Blais hadn't played in the Maple Leafs' first 10 games. However, injuries have started to pile up -- William Nylander (lower body) was unavailable in the second half of a back-to-back, Scott Laughton (lower body) and Calle Jarnkrok (lower body) remain out and Steven Lorentz left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury. This could give Blais a chance in the lineup, and his two-point effort was a good first impression on the Toronto staff in a game where most players didn't do well.

Blais was claimed off waivers by Toronto on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal was hoping to send Blais back to AHL Laval after he racked up 40 points in 51 minor-league appearances for AHL Abbotsford last year. However, Toronto had other plans for the 29-year-old winger. Blais flashed offensive upside in his time with St. Louis, and perhaps a reunion with head coach Craig Berube will give Blais' NHL career a second life. With that said, he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact as he'll likely be fighting for bottom-six minutes in Toronto.
