Newhook had two shots on net and one hit in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets. - Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis, not pleased with the club's 13-shot output in Tuesday's loss to Utah, rejiggered the lines Wednesday. As part of the new combinations, Newhook moved to a top-line assignment with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This is a combination the coach began to implement during the Utah game, and he apparently liked the results. The new unit did not produce a 5-on-5 goal Wednesday -- Caufield tallied on the power play and Suzuki in the 3-on-3 OT period -- but they did account for team-highs in shots (seven) and Corsi For (21). Through 22 outings, Newhook has five goals (30 shots) and no assists. |

Newhook scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah. - Newhook put the Canadiens ahead 2-1 early in the third period, but Jack McBain offered a quick response for Utah. The goal was Newhook's first point since his two-goal game versus the Devils on Nov. 7. The 23-year-old forward has seen steady middle-six minutes this season and was on the first line amid a lineup shuffle Tuesday, but it hasn't led to sustained success. He has five goals, no assists, 28 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-10 rating across 21 appearances, so his fantasy value is likely to be limited to deeper formats. |

Newhook scored two goals on three shots with two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to New Jersey. - Newhook's been snakebit of late, unable to finish or fumbling scoring chances, but got a break when his shot squeezed through the arm and body of Devils' netminder Jacob Markstrom. He later scored a highlight reel goal, going coast to coast and flipping the puck over Markstrom's shoulder. The two-goal night snapped a five-game scoreless run for Newhook, who has four goals, zero assists and is minus-10 through 14 outings. Despite some early-season struggles, Newhook remains on the second line with Juraj Slafkovsky and Jake Evans. |

Newhook scored a goal on one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ottawa. - Newhook's one-timer from way out got past Linus Ullmark for his first goal of the season. He's looking to build off a breakout campaign in 2023-24 when he posted career highs in points (34) and goals (15) with a 17.6 shooting percentage in 55 regular-season appearances. He is skating on the second line and has a role on the second power-play unit. |

Newhook scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers. - Newhook has been solid lately with three goals and five assists over his last eight games, though he's had three multi-point efforts in that span.

The 2019 first-round pick of the Avalanche never took off in Colorado, but he's been more productive in Montreal.

Newhook had an assist, three shots on net and one block in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Colorado. - Newhook's shot from the point led to Joel Armia's game-winning tally late in the first period. The second-line center has three points over the last two games and is up to 25 through 44 contests.

Newhook tallied twice in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken. - The pair of tallies bring Newhook to 12 goals and 24 points through 43 games this season. At 0.55 points per game, he's posting the best points-per-game rate of his career, even if the counting totals aren't quite at his career-best marks. Still, he's taking fewer shots per game than he has in any other season when he was an NHL regular. It's hard to know what to expect from Newhook. |

Newhook (ankle) is expected to play Saturday afternoon against Dallas, Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette reports. The game is scheduled for 1:00 pm ET. - Newhook, who hasn't played since Nov. 30, worked with the first power-play unit during Friday's practice. Prior to the injury, he occupied a top-six role that included stints on the wing alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. It looks like Juraj Slafkovsky has achieved a level of comfort on the top line, so Newhook could return to the second line. The 23-year-old Newhook got off to a promising start with Montreal, posting 13 points over the first 23 games. He also had six points over seven outings before getting injured. |

It was the third goal on the trip for Newhook, who is enjoying life on the top line with Nick Suzuki and Brendan Gallagher. A 2019 first-round draft pick of the Avalanche, Newhook is getting more ice time for his new club -- three more minutes per game than in Colorado -- and headed for his most productive season. Newhook has seven goals, 13 points and 31 shots (22.6 SH%) while averaging 16:38 TOI through 22 games. |

For the season, he has five tallies, 12 points, 27 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances. He should be a solid contributor as long as he maintains a top-six role. |

Newhook had an assist and three shots on goal over 17:05 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Boston. - Newhook regained control of the puck behind the net which led to Nick Suzuki feeding Juraj Slafkovsky for Montreal's first strike. It was the third point in the last two games for Newhook, who was recently moved to Suzuki's top line. Suzuki was reunited with Cole Caufield -- Montreal's best producers of offense -- which could bode well for Newhook's production if that threesome remains together. |

Newhook had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-5 loss to the Golden Knights. - He put Montreal up 1-0 with a wrist shot from the right circle at 6:43 of the first period. Newhook came to Montreal with much promise and high hopes, but he has struggled to find his stride. The goal was his first in 13 games, and he has just four goals and five assists in 17 games. Newhook may develop into a top-six player, but right now, he's unlikely to score more than 40-45 points. |

Newhook had an assist over 17:59 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win against the Red Wings. - Newhook found himself on the top line after Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis reconfigured his top six. The move worked immediately, as 10 different Canadiens had shots on net in the first period, including Mike Matheson's goal off a feed from Newhook. It was the first time in seven games the Habs scored first. Perhaps the new line assignment will unlock Newhook, who had three goals over the first three games but none over 10 subsequent contests. |

It was the second straight game with a power-play assist for Newhook. Those two players had been on the same line during five-on-five play, but head coach Martin St. Louis tweaked the line combinations Saturday. At even strength, Newhook found himself playing the wing on a new line with Christian Dvorak and Josh Anderson. |

Newhook had a power-play assist and blocked one shot over 14:46 of ice time in Monday's 3-1 win over Buffalo. - Newhook, working the point, initiated a brisk tic-tac-toe sequence that ended with Tanner Pearson burying an insurance goal with three minutes left in the game. It was the first power-play point for Newhook, who has been thrust into an important role in a hockey hotbed. The 22-year-old is centering the second line, taking over for the injured Kirby Dach (knee), and is tasked with helping guide the development of the team's top prospect, 19-year-old Juraj Slafkovsky. Newhook has four points, seven shots on goal and four PIM through five games while averaging a career-high 15:44 TOI, including 2:07 on the power play. |

He also won five of 12 faceoffs. - Newhook moved from wing to center on the second line, replacing the injured Kirby Dach (knee), who is out for the season. In a lackluster overall effort from the Canadiens, Newhook provided the game's final tally off a nice feed from David Savard. The forward was also presented a season-high 3:43 of power-play ice time. Newhook leads Montreal with three goals through three games. |

Newhook will move from left wing to center to replace Kirby Dach (lower body), Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports. - Dach suffered an injury during Saturday's game against Chicago, presumably to his right leg based on his reaction after getting hit by Jarred Tinordi. Dach centered the second line between Newhook and Juraj Slafkovsky and was expected to help Slafkovsky, the first overall pick in 2022, evolve during his second season. That job now falls to Newhook. The Canadiens have not yet named a wing replacement for Newhook, who came up through the ranks as a center before shifting to wing to start this season. |

It's an encouraging debut for the 22-year-old Newhook, who was traded to Montreal after tallying 14 goals and 30 points in 82 games last season with Colorado. He'll open the season on the second line alongside Kirby Dach and Juraj Slafkovsky while also seeing time on the Canadiens' second power-play unit. |

Newhook notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kraken in Game 3. - Newhook saw just 6:39 of ice time Saturday, though absences for Darren Helm (undisclosed) and Valeri Nichushkin (personal) could keep the young center in the lineup. The helper was Newhook's first point in three contests against the Kraken in the first round. With a limited role on the fourth line, the 22-year-old is unlikely to be very intriguing for fantasy managers. |

Newhook scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings. - Newhook has a goal and an assist over his last two games, which follows his recent 12-game slump. The 22-year-old is up to a career-high 14 tallies with 15 assists, 112 shots on net, 59 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 78 appearances. While he's on the fourth line at even strength, his role on the second power-play unit still provides the forward a chance to generate offense. |

Newhook notched an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Sharks. - Newhook has played on the fourth line recently with Darren Helm (lower body) out. The helper snapped Newhook's 12-game point drought, during which he went minus-8 with 16 shots on net.

Newhook had two shots, one hit and one blocked shot over 16:39 of ice time in Monday's 5-1 win over the Ducks. - Newhook, who has moved around the bottom-three lines all season, has returned to the second line the last four games. Prior to rejoining the second unit, he spent time on the fourth line, which included a season-low 5:41 TOI in a win over Ottawa on March 16. The second-year forward is averaging 16:03 TOI per game since being promoted, but Newhook remains in a scoring slump with zero points in the last nine contests. |

Newhook had two penalty minutes over 5:41 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Senators. - Newhook was in the box for interference when Ottawa scored its first goal then made a poor read that led to the Sens' second goal, which may explain the season-low TOI. The second-year forward's ice time has diminished of late. Newhook's now skating on the fourth line, which collectively played just two shifts in the third period, and been given less than 10 minutes in three of the last four games. |

Newhook had an assist and one shot on goal over 9:34 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes. - Newhook won just two of eight faceoffs, but his defensive-zone win early in the first period led to Denis Malgin's score. The 22-year-old center was originally thought to be a replacement on the second line for the departed Nazem Kadri, but things haven't worked out that way. Newhook's spent a good portion of the season in a bottom-six role and currently centers the fourth line. He has a goal and six assists over his last nine games. |

Newhook notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kings. - Newhook has four helpers through five games in March, but he's gone six contests without a goal.

Newhook had one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over a season-low 8:32 of ice time in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Seattle. - Newhook had five points over the previous five games leading into Sunday's affair, but head coach Jared Bednar stuck him on the fourth line after the second-year forward filled in on the top six Saturday. He played just five shifts over the final two periods. There did not appear to be an injury involved in the low TOI or diminished shifts, but it could be as simple as Newhook running afoul of the coach, something that's happened before this season. |

Newhook had two assists, one on the power play, and two shots on goal over 12:26 of ice time in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Stars. - Newhook, who has five points in the last five games, remained in a top-six role, helping to fill a void created by Valeri Nichushkin's absence due to illness. He patiently circled the net and assisted on Samuel Girard's first-period goal then was primary on Evan Rodrigues' power-play strike in the third. It's unclear if Nichushkin will be available for Sunday's contest against the Kraken, but the suddenly hot Newhook should remain in a top-six role whether Big Val plays or not. |

Newhook had an assist, one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over 13:28 of ice time in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to New Jersey. - Newhook has points in three of the last four contests following a seven-game pointless streak. He moved to the wing on the second line Wednesday with the newly acquired Lars Eller jumping in as the third-line center, Newhook's previous role. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar told Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now that's he's been pleased with Newhook's game recently and wanted to elevate him. In theory, the 22-year-old forward could see an increase in scoring while skating with J.T. Compher and Mikko Rantanen on the second line. However, Newhook has been inconsistent with 23 points over 59 games this campaign. |

He gave the Avalanche a 1-0 lead midway through the first period burying his own rebound. It was the third goal over the last four games for Newhook, who has seven points over the last eight. The second-year forward is having a streaky season. In between scoring binges, Newhook has an eight-game scoreless run and another stretch during which he had one point over 11 contests. The Avs are looking for more consistency from Newhook, who was selected in the first round of the 2019 draft. |

Newhook scored two goals and added an assist in Saturday's 7-0 rout of the Senators. - The 21-year-old had only one assist over his prior 11 games, but Newhook busted out for a career-best performance in a big night for the Avs. The 2019 first-round pick is still trying to find his footing in the NHL and has just nine goals and 16 points through 41 games on the season, but the upside he flashed Saturday still makes him an asset in keeper and dynasty formats. |

Newhook registered an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks. - Newhook was bumped down to the fourth line as recently as last Saturday, but he was back in the middle six Thursday. He helped out on a Samuel Girard goal in the second period of this contest, which ended Newhook's seven-game point drought. The 21-year-old forward is up to 13 points, 54 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-3 rating through 37 contests overall. The Avalanche are still trying to find his best fit for this season, so it's likely he'll continue to move around the lineup. |

Newhook had an assist and one hit over 19:53 of ice time in Friday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Rangers. - Newhook had a pretty one-touch pass to setup Mikko Rantanen for Colorado's only goal in 42 shots. He spent the game on the top line, skating with Rantanen and the returning Valeri Nichushkin. Since a new rash of injuries cropped up during the Avalanche's recent road trip, Newhook has averaged 20:35 TOI over the last four games, nearly six minutes above his season average. It's ice time he needs to play due to the injuries, but it's also time earned with an uptick in production. The second-year forward has seven points over the last 11 contests since his one-on-one with head coach Jared Bednar in mid-November. |

Newhook scored two goals, including one with the man advantage, in Colorado's 5-3 loss to Philadelphia on Monday. - While Newhook has been limited to six goals and nine points through 23 games this season, he did average 2:43 of power-play ice time from Nov. 21-Dec. 3, and logged 6:32 on Monday.

Newhook had two shots on goal and four hits over 20:07 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins. - The Avalanche spent the last two periods without Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) and used Newhook and Jean-Luc Foudy as replacements on the top line, skating with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. That led to a season-high TOI for Newhook, who also ascended to the top power-play unit (4:45 TOI). If Lehkonen is unable to go Monday in Philadelphia, Newhook is in line for more time with Colorado's most gifted offensive personnel. |

Newhook skated in the white third-line jersey during Monday's practice, Brennan Vogt of Colorado Hockey Now reports. - This isn't so much a demotion for Newhook, who has played well of late after a slow start, but it's related to adding new bodies to the roster. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar added the newly signed Alex Galchenyuk and newly promoted Jean-Luc Foudy to Newhook's line while opting to move the established line of J.T. Compher, Andrew Cogliano and Logan O'Connor up to the top six. "Yeah. Whatever you want to say our top six is. Right now it's Compher, Cogliano and OC. I'll keep those guys together. They will get the bulk of the minutes with MacKinnon's line," Bednar said. Newhook's line included Valeri Nichushkin (ankle) and Evan Rodrigues (lower body) to start the season, but those are out until mid-December. The now third-line center has four points over the last five games, after Bednar had a one-on-one with Newhook. |

Prior to the contest, the 21-year-old center had three goals and two assists through 16 games this season. Although Newhook isn't one of the most popular names on Colorado's offense, it appears he has settled into his second-line role and should continue to improve on the stat sheet as he gains more experience in Colorado's top-tier offense. |

Newhook had a goal on two shots, one hit and two penalty minutes in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Carolina. - Newhook's play has come under increased scrutiny from head coach Jared Bednar, and the second-line forward followed up a one-on-one with the coach in style. He finished off a mini-breakaway after a pretty feed from Josh Manson and had a couple of other chances. He has just four points (three goals) through 15 games, but this could be an ignitor for Newhook. |

Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar had a one-on-one meeting with Newhook to discuss the center's level of play thus far, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. "We (went) over numbers, where he stands, what we need to see from him," Bednar said. "And then, we (got) specific on detail with the video." - Newhook, who was benched for much of the third period in Monday's loss to the Blues, has been tasked with filling the skates of Nazem Kadri as the second-line center. It's a tall task for the 21-year-old, who has three points and 17 shots on goal through 14 games. At the dot, Newhook won only 29 of 94 faceoffs (30.9 percent). He's expected to maintain a top-six presence Thursday in North Carolina for a meeting with the Hurricanes but could be replaced by J.T. Compher if his struggles continue. |

Newhook was benched for a large stretch of the third period in Monday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. "He's not playing up to the standard I've set for him," head coach Jared Bednar said. - Newhook had seven shifts and 6:37 TOI in the first period, then just six shifts and a combined 6:36 TOI over the final two periods. He had a promising two-game stretch in Finland, but the second-line forward has returned to the lackadaisical ways that's characterized much of his season. "Too many turnovers. Not skating and attacking," Bednar added. Newhook has just three points -- two during the series in Finland -- and is minus-4 over 14 games. |

Newhook had three shots on net and four penalty minutes in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken. - Newhook was in the box when Seattle scored its first goal, then was whistled for an offensive zone high sticking late in the third period, dashing any thoughts of an Avalanche comeback. He also had a good scoring chance but was stymied by Philipp Grubauer. Newhook's slow start -- zero points through five games and a 30.6 faceoff winning percentage -- prompted a demotion from the second to third line. |

Newhook had one hit and one shot on net while finishing minus-1 over 12:26 of ice time in Monday's 6-3 win over Minnesota. - Newhook is filling the big skates of Nazem Kadri as the Avalanche's second-line center but has failed to produce a point through three games. He did have a decent night at the dot, winning four of six draws to improve to a 30.4 FO%, but linemate Evan Rodrigues is starting to take some draws when the second line is on the ice. Newhook could be squeezing the stick, trying to impress in a top-six role, which had been a big part of Colorado's run to the Stanley Cup in 2021-22. |

Newhook had one shot and two hits over 13:43 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Chicago. - Newhook opened the season as the second-line center, a role that was filled by the very productive Nazem Kadri on last season's Stanley Cup championship squad. He also skated on the second power-play unit. Newhook, who won just 34.7 percent of his faceoff draws in 2021-22, won two of seven at the dot Wednesday. This will be a big year for the 21-year-old, who was drafted 16th overall in 2019. He's stepping into a prominent top-six role on a championship caliber team after serving on the third line last season. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar told Peter Baugh of The Athletic that he plans to give Newhook ample time to prove he belongs on the second line. |

Newhook posted an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1. - Newhook has struggled to maintain a regular role in the lineup, but he's played in three of the Avalanche's last four games.

Newhook has two helpers, two shots, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in his three playoff appearances.

It didn't take Newhook long to make an impact, as he set up Erik Johnson for the first of the Avalanche's four second-period tallies.

Newhook has looked effective with 13 goals and 20 assists in 70 appearances, and he may play Friday versus the Wild in the regular-season finale. |

The center is up to 12 tallies, 24 points, 99 shots on net and a plus-5 rating in 58 contests overall.

Newhook had one shot on goal and one hit over 18:54 of ice time in Sunday's 3-0 win over Calgary. - Newhook had a season-high TOI on Sunday, stemming from the lineup juggling necessitated by Gabriel Landeskog's knee injury. Valeri Nichushkin took Landeskog's spot on the top line, and Newhook moved up to the second line in Nichushkin's former position. Colorado's captain could miss the rest of the regular season, so there will be opportunities for Newhook as a top-six forward over the next several weeks. |

Newhook scored a goal on four shots and had three hits in Friday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks. - Newhook's stick reached a pass from Nazem Kadri before Marc-Andre Fleury's could and poked the puck past the goalie for his 10th goal of the season on the evening of his 21st birthday. The rookie had a score earlier in the game that was wiped out on review, because Kadri was offside on the play. The Newfoundland native was promoted to the second line as part of line juggling that resulted from an injury to top-line center Nathan MacKinnon (nose), who will miss at least another two games. Newhook filled in at one wing for Valeri Nichushkin, who skated as a winger on top line while Mikko Rantanen slid from wing to cover MacKinnon's spot at center. |

Newhook scored a goal on four shots to go along with one hit and one blocked shot in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. - Nicolas Aube-Kubel prevented Chicago from clearing the zone and got the puck to Newhook along the side boards. The rookie forward moved in and kept heading toward the net, as no Blackhawk confronted him, and he lifted a backhander over Marc-Andre Fleury's left shoulder. The goal was Newhook's first in six games, giving him seven markers in 20 contests overall. It looks like he's here to stay in the NHL after an early-season demotion to AHL Colorado. |

Newhook centered the second line, registering two shots on goal, one hit and one blocked shot in Sunday's 3-2 win over Florida. - Newhook took the spot normally occupied by Nazem Kadri, who missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury. Mikko Rantanen centered that unit in Friday's win over Detroit, but he returned to the top line with Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) unavailable. For Newhook, it's a promotion from the third line and a recognition of the work he's put in since returning from AHL Colorado. The rookie's four-game point streak snapped Sunday, but he's posted 10 points over 14 games since his banishment to the AHL ended Nov. 11. The down note is that Newhook won just two of 13 draws (15 percent). |

Newhook had one goal, one assist and two shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Senators. - Newhook recorded his first multi-point game and snapped a four-game pointless drought. He battled in the Ottawa zone to nab an assist on Colorado's first goal, then scored on what the cognsocenti might refer to as a "goal scorer's" goal to begin a comeback from a three-goal deficit. He picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone, stickhandled through a couple of defenders before beating Anton Forsberg top shelf. The Avalanche prospect, who was demoted after the first game of the season, looks like he belongs in the NHL now. The 20-year-old forward has seven points in 11 games. |

The 20-year-old has been solid when in the lineup this year, producing two goals, two helpers, 10 shots on net and a plus-1 rating in six contests. Both of his tallies have been game-winners. Newhook will likely continue to play in a third-line role with the Avalanche a bit shorthanded at center due to injuries. |

Newhook produced an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 7-3 win over the Kraken. - Newhook helped out on Nicolas Aube-Kubel's third-period marker. The 20-year-old Newhook has picked up points in three of the last four games since he was recalled from AHL Colorado.

Newhook was recalled from AHL Colorado on Tuesday. - The Avalanche don't play until Thursday, and it's not clear what their plans are for the 20-year-old during this call-up.
