The Montreal Canadiens came back in a big way at the Bell Centre, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2.
After a slow start that saw Carolina jump out early with goals from Nikolaj Ehlers and Jordan Staal, the Canadiens flipped the script. Montreal responded with five unanswered goals, led by Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky, who sparked the comeback in the second period.
Rookie Oliver Kapanen got the Habs on the board, while Ivan Demidov added a clutch third-period goal, and Jake Evans sealed it with an empty-netter. Goaltender Jakub Dobes was outstanding, turning aside 41 shots and giving Montreal a chance to claw back into the game.
That was Montreal’s 24th comeback win of the season, tying a franchise record and continuing their strong push late in the year.

The Montreal Canadiens could soon face an interesting decision: who gets the call from Laval?
With both Jacob Fowler and David Reinbacher having strong seasons with the Laval Rocket, the Habs may have two legitimate options if they need help at the NHL level.
Should Montreal address a need in goal by giving Fowler an opportunity? Or would the Canadiens be better served reinforcing the blue line with Reinbacher’s size, mobility and defensive presence?

The Montreal Canadiens were active behind the scenes at the NHL trade deadline — but the big move never came. Reports indicate GM Kent Hughes worked the phones until the final minutes trying to complete a “significant deal,” but the trade ultimately fell through before the deadline.
So what happened? And more importantly… could the Canadiens circle back this summer?
Hughes confirmed the Canadiens spent a lot of time working on one specific trade file that went right down to the deadline, but it simply couldn’t get across the finish line. However, the door remains open for Montreal to revisit the deal in the offseason as the team continues trying to take the next step toward contender status.
In this video, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down: • The significant trade Montreal tried to make • Why the deal didn’t happen at the deadline • What it says about the Canadiens’ long-term plan • And whether Kent Hughes could circle back this summer
The Canadiens may not have made a splash at the deadline — but the groundwork for a major move might already be in place.

The Montreal Canadiens may be looking to upgrade their third defensive pairing, and that means the spotlight is on Arber Xhekaj and Jayden Struble. With the NHL trade deadline approaching, questions are growing about whether the Habs are comfortable heading into the stretch run with their current 5th and 6th defencemen.
Could a move be coming?
Reports suggest the Calgary Flames have shown interest in Arber Xhekaj, fueling speculation that Kent Hughes could explore the market for help on the blue line.
If the Canadiens are looking for a defensive upgrade, one name that has surfaced in the rumor mill is Zach Whitecloud. The Calgary Flames defenceman is known as a steady, stay-at-home presence who brings physicality, shot blocking, and reliability in defensive situations—exactly the kind of traits teams often look for on a third pairing.
On today’s show, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break it all down:
Are the Canadiens comfortable with Xhekaj and Struble on the third pair?
Why the Flames might be interested in Xhekaj
Would Zach Whitecloud be a real upgrade for Montreal’s defense?
What a potential trade between the Habs and Flames could look like
And how this decision fits into Kent Hughes’ long-term plan for the Canadiens blue line
Is this simply trade-deadline speculation… or are the Canadiens quietly preparing to upgrade their defense for the playoff push?
Let us know in the comments: Would you trade Xhekaj or Struble to upgrade the Canadiens’ third pairing?

The Canadiens started their California trip in San Jose last night. The Habs went back with goalie Jakub Dobes who went into that game with a 9-0-2 record over his last 11. But...it wasn't a good nice at the office for the Habs or their goalie. San Jose jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the 3rd period but to the Habs credit, they clawed their way back
A power play goal and the 2nd of the night from Alex Newhook and we had ourselves a game. It was less than 6min later than San Jose would get the lead back and hold on.
Macklin Celebrini scored his 30th goal of the season and had three assists for the San Jose Sharks, who recovered late beat the Montreal Canadiens 7-5. Alex Newhook scored two goals, and Mike Matheson had three assists for the Canadiens, who had their seven-game point streak end. Jake Evans had two assists, and Jakub Dobes made 21 saves.

Multiple NHL teams are circling the St. Louis Blues star centre, and while Montreal isn’t at the front of the line, they’re very much in the conversation. The Blues are believed to have interest in young Habs defencemen, including Kaiden Guhle, and prospect Michael Hage is a name that continues to surface in trade discussions.

Logan Sawyer may be the most underrated prospect in the Montreal Canadiens pipeline—and his breakout season is turning heads.

Are the Montreal Canadiens cooling off their interest in Nazem Kadri ahead of the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline? In this video we break down the latest insider info and what it means for Montreal’s playoff push and roster-building strategy.
