Tatar, who potted his fifth goal, was named the game's second star for his two-point effort, the second such night in his last three games. He's been a regular entry on the scoresheet for the Canadiens, recording 13 points over 15 games, and is in a particularly nice groove right now. Tatar has registered six points over the last five games.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar, who had left Wednesday's practice after taking a shot off his foot, was back to normal on the top line with Phillip Danault and Brendan Gallagher. What wasn't normal was his ice time, which was about a minute-and-a-half less than his linemates and nearly two minutes less than his season average. It looks like head coach Claude Julien relied more on his second line, as the top line was on the ice for both of San Jose's even-strength goals.

Tatar (lower body) is expected to play Thursday against the Sharks, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar exited Wednesday's practice early after suffering a lower-body injury, but it appears his departure was likely precautionary. He'll slot into his usual role skating on the Canadiens' top line and second power-play unit against San Jose.

Tatar won't return to Wednesday's practice due to a lower-body injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Tatar's injury has yet to be disclosed, but he should probably be considered questionable at best for Thursday's matchup with San Jose at this point. Confirmation on his status for that contest will undoubtedly surface prior to puck drop.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar evidently put some lumber on the puck before Max Domi swatted it into the cage following a bounce off the end boards. With a goal and two helpers through four games to open the season, Tatar is out to prove that his career-high point total (58) with the Habs last season was no fluke. He's a dual threat in the sense that he can score and set up goals with aplomb.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar lit the lamp with an unassisted marker a couple minutes after Carolina jumped to a 2-0 lead early in the second period.
