For Evans, the helper was his 18th and established a new career high for the center. The 27-year-old Evans is in the final year of a contract and not considered part of the youthful core the Canadiens are building around, but he's a responsible, two-way player that's fit with a variety of teammates and could be useful as a bottom-six piece going forward. |

Evans scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Anaheim. He added one block and one hit to his line over 16:39 of ice time. - Evans and Tanner Pearson worked a give-and-go to perfection, as Evans went forehand-backhand and roofed Montreal's first goal.

That ascension, however, has not led to an increase scoring for Evans, who last scored Dec. 10. |

It was the third straight game with an assist for Evans, who has been liberated off the fourth line.

Evans had an assist, a blocked shot and a hit over 16:31 of ice time in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit. - Evans picked up the secondary helper on Gustav Lindstrom's game-tying goal that set up overtime. The center moved up a notch -- from the fourth to third line -- as Alex Newhook (ankle) was added to injured reserve Saturday. Newhook will miss 10-to-12 weeks, so Evans could be in line TOI with more offensively gifted forwards until Newhook returns. He has assists in two straight games and four over the past six. Evans has one goal, six assists, 19 shots, 22 hits, 21 blocks and six PIM while sporting a plus-6 through 24 games. |

Normally the fourth-line center, Evans took a shift on the third line, as Sean Monahan was part of the power-play group that scored the Canadiens' first goal just 27 seconds earlier. Evans has been a useful, multi-purpose forward the last several years for Montreal bust mostly lives on the fourth line. He has three points (two in the last three games), 10 shots on net, 14 hits and 14 blocked shots over 14 games. |

Evans logged an assist, one shot on goal, one hit and two penalty minutes over 12:53 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay. - Evans snapped a 10-game drought in the third period when he and Michael Pezzetta banged away at a loose puck in front of Matt Tomkins before Pezzetta put it past the goalie, closing the gap to 4-2. Later in the third period, when Montreal was pressing to make it a one-goal game, Evans was called for holding, which led to a Tampa Bay insurance marker. As a member of the fourth line and a key contributor on the penalty-kill unit, Evans is not usually on ice with Montreal's best offensive players and arguably shouldn't have been on the ice with the Canadiens desperate to score. The center has just three goals over his last 66 games and nine shots on goal over 12 games this season. |

Evans scored a goal on his lone shot, recorded three hits and was assessed two penalty minutes in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs. - Evans gave the Canadiens an early lead when T.J. Brodie blew a tire at the blue line, resulting in a breakaway. The fourth-line center went backhand-forehand to beat Ilya Samsonov glove side.

Evans produced an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken. - As expected, Evans picked up extra ice time to make up for Sean Monahan (lower body) being out of the lineup. Evans saw a season-high 16:29 of ice time and picked up an assist for his second straight game. In that stretch, he's doubled his season point total to four helpers in 26 contests. He also sports a minus-9 rating, 24 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and nine PIM in a bottom-six role. |
None |

Evans produced an assist in Monday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Canucks. - Evans hasn't been able to do much on offense this season with just three assists in 25 outings. Two of those helpers have come in the last six games, but his bottom-six role doesn't lead to many good scoring chances. The 26-year-old could get a boost in usage if Sean Monahan (undisclosed) is forced to miss time after exiting Monday's game. Still, even more playing time is unlikely to make Evans worth a look in most fantasy formats. |

Each had two points in the loss with Pitlick assisting on the first of Evans' markers.

Later, he hit Joel Edmundson perfectly in stride for the Canadiens' third goal. Evans extended his point streak to three games, during which he has two goals and two assists. The middle-six forward has 12 goals, 27 points, 118 shots, 87 hits and 20 PIM over 69 contests. A three-year deal signed prior to the season means Evans is expected to return in a similar role in 2022-23, but the Canadiens also figure to remodel the roster during the offseason. |

Evans (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against the Flyers on Thursday. - Evans is back after missing just one game due to his undisclosed problem. The 25-year-old winger set career bests this past season in games played (67), goals (11) and assists (13).

Evans is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't play against Minnesota on Tuesday, John Lu of TSN.ca reports. - Evans has put together a decent campaign with career bests in goals (11), assists (13) and games played (67). While the 25-year-old Toronto native is unlikely to ever be a 40-point producer for the Habs, he should be capable of offering some fantasy value in a middle-six role. |

Evans scored a goal on two shots and had one hit over 15:02 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers. - Evans positioned himself in front of Florida goalie Spencer Knight, and it was the right spot to tip in Alexander Romanov's blast from the point to even the score at two goals apiece early in the second period. It was the second goal in three games for Evans, who has bounced between the second and third lines of late. He was on the second unit Thursday, as Montreal had to cover for an unavailable Jonathan Drouin (not injury related). |
