|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2024 | Slafkovsky signed an eight-year, $60.8 million contract extension with Montreal on Monday. - Slafkovsky still has one more season left on his entry-level deal before his new contract makes him much richer. The 20-year-old forward made plenty of progress in 2023-24, generating 20 goals and 50 points in 82 regular-season games. After all, Slafkovsky only had four tallies and 10 points in 39 appearances during his rookie campaign in 2022-23. He should see time on the top line and the first power-play unit in the upcoming season. | None |
| April 17, 2024 | Slafkovsky produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings. - The 2022 first overall pick shook off the bust label with a strong finish to the season that saw him collect seven goals and 19 points over the final 19 games. Slafkovsky played all 82 games for Montreal in his second NHL season and racked up an even 20 goals and 50 points, and the 20-year-old will be prominent on sleeper lists heading into the 2024-25 campaign. | None |
| April 9, 2024 | Slafkovsky netted his first NHL hat trick Tuesday in a 9-3 win over the Flyers. - The first goal was a gift -- Mike Matheson's one-timer from the top of the slot went in off his skate in the first. Slafkovsky pushed the score to 2-0 in the second on a one-timer from the edge of the crease. And he completed the hat trick a couple minutes later on a breakaway to push the score to 4-0. It stood as the winner. Slafkovsky is the sixth Canadiens player ever to score a hat trick at age 20 or younger. Since March 9, the winger has been held off the scoresheet just twice in 15 games (six goals, 11 assists). File his name away for draft day 2024. The sophomore winger has 19 goals and 48 points with 147 shots in 78 games this season. | None |
| April 7, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a power-play assist, one shot on net and five hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Toronto. - Slafkovsky slid a no-look, backhand pass to Nick Suzuki, who buried a one-time for Montreal's first goal. Slafkovsky is burnishing a breakout season with 14 points over the last 13 games. He needs five points over the final six games for a 50-point season. | None |
| April 5, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a goal on six shots, an assist and a hit in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Lightning. - Both points came in the third period when Montreal attempted to mount a comeback. The recently turned 20-year-old forward is finishing strong with 13 points over the last 12 contests. | None |
| March 27, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, two shots on net, three blocked shots and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche. - Slafkovsky directed the puck to the boards where Nick Suzuki won the battle and scored the first of Montreal's two opening-period tallies. The assist extended Slafkovsky's point streak to a eight games -- his second eight-gamer this season -- during which he has two goals and seven assists. | None |
| March 24, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist and two penalty minutes in Sunday's 5-1 win over Seattle. - The assist puts Slafkovsky's point streak at seven games, a stretch where he's posted two goals and eight points. He's getting big minutes and power-play time, but he's also had one or fewer shots in four of those games. There's been value in his game lately, but with the low shot totals, he'll need to either get more pucks on net or keep the helpers coming to push the streak forward. | None |
| March 21, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. - Slafkovsky extended his point streak to six games with a tally late in the second period. During that stretch, he has two goals and five assists. The 19-year-old winger has looked right at home on the Canadiens' top line for much of the campaign. He now has 15 goals, 38 points, 115 shots on net, 122 hits, 59 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 69 appearances. | None |
| March 20, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, two shots on net, three hits and two penalty minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers. - Slafkovsky picked up a primary assist when his pass deflected off Nick Suzuki's skate and into the net. It was the fifth consecutive game with a point for the 19-year-old forward, who has a goal and five assists during that stretch. He's bounced back nicely from an eight-game stretch in which he had one point, which is a sign of Slafkovsky's growth and confidence in his second NHL season. | None |
| March 17, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, three shots, one blocked shot, one hit and two penalty minutes in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Calgary. - Slafkovsky picked up the secondary assist on Cole Caufield's second-period strike and extended a point streak to four games. The 19-year-old forward has 14 goals and 22 assists through 67 games. | None |
| March 15, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, a blocked shot and a hit in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins. - Slafkovsky corralled a loose puck in front of Linus Ullmark and found Suzuki at the side of the net for a first-period equalizer. The assist extended a point streak to three consecutive games and upped his season total to 35. The streak comes after the 19-year-old went eight games with just one point. | None |
| March 13, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal on his lone shot and had two blocks in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Columbus. - It didn't take long for the Canadiens to take advantage of their first power-play opportunity. Nineteen seconds into it, Slafkovsky's one-timer from the faceoff circle eluded Elvis Merzlikins for Montreal's second goal. It was the sixth power-play tally for the 19-year-old and just his second goal overall in the last 11 games. | None |
| March 10, 2024 | Slafkovsky recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Toronto. The 19-year-old forward also had three shots on net, one block and five hits. - Slafkovsky set up Mike Matheson just 38 seconds into the game, then helped on Alex Newhook's third-period power-play tally. The two assists came after an eight-game stretch during which Slafkovsky posted one point. It's been a remarkable year of development for Slafkovsky, including areas not measured by statistics, following an underwhelming rookie season in 2022-23. He's up to 33 points (11 on power play) with 117 hits over 64 games. | None |
| March 5, 2024 | Slafkovsky (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus the Predators, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports. - Slafkovsky skipped Monday's practice for maintenance, and his availability will be determined closer to puck drop. He has accounted for 13 goals and 31 points in 61 contests this campaign. If Slafkovsky can't play, Michael Pezzette or Rafael Harvey-Pinard (lower body) may replace him in Tuesday's lineup. | None |
| March 1, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on six shots and doled out three hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Florida. - Slafkovsky's snap shot through a screen beat Anthony Stolarz with one second remaining in the second period. The tally snapped a four-game run without a point and five-gamer without a goal. It's been a tale of two seasons for the 19-year-old forward. Slafkovsky had just seven points through the season's first 29 games but 24 over the last 31. The scoring binge roughly tracks with his ascension to the top line. | None |
| Feb. 18, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a power-play assist, seven shots, six blocks and one hit over 23:52 of ice time in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals. - Slafkovsky picked up the primary assist on Nick Suzuki's power-play tally that tied the game at 3-3 midway through the third period. The apple extended a point streak to eight games for the 19-year-old, who has consistently made an impact the last two months. Slafkovsky has 22 points over the last 24 contests. | None |
| Feb. 16, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on two shots over 19:59 of ice time in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers. - Slafkovsky fired a laser past Jonathan Quick late in the second period to extend his point streak to seven games, setting the franchise record for most consecutive games with a point by a teenager. He later assisted on a Cole Caufield tally and has 11 points during his streak, five in the last two contests. | None |
| Feb. 14, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a goal and an assist on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Anaheim. He added three shots and two hits to his line over 20:51 of ice time. - Montreal's top line remained blisteringly hot, as Slafkovsky and Nick Suzuki accounted for three of the team's five tallies. The goal was the fifth in the last five games for Slafkovsky, who has points (nine) in six straight contests, including five on the power play. | None |
| Feb. 12, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, three shots on net, two hits and two penalty minutes over 20:11 of ice time in Sunday's 7-2 loss to St. Louis. - Slafkovsky extended his point streak to five games with a saucer-pass feed to Nick Suzuki, who pocketed the Canadiens' first goal. The 19-year-old Slafkovsky has four goals and two assists during the point streak, and he hasn't been bashful about shooting, sending 13 pucks on net. | None |
| Feb. 11, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a goal on two shots, one block and two hits over 19:30 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dallas. - Slafkovsky beat Jake Oettinger over the shoulder from sharp angle to put the final touches on a wild second period. The tally extended a goal streak to three games and point streak to four. Slafkovsky's move to the top line wasn't an immediate success -- he was held pointless in the first six games following the move -- but it eventually unlocked the 19-year-old's offense. The young Slovak forward has 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) over the last 22 contests. | None |
| Feb. 6, 2024 | Slafkovsky picked up two goals in a 5-2 win over the Capitals on Tuesday. - With the Capitals frantically mounting a comeback, Slafkovsky put the game away by lighting the lamp twice in the third period. After Alex Ovechkin closed the gap to make the game 3-1, Slafkovsky took a drop pass midway through the final frame from Jake Evans and wristed a laser over Darcy Kuemper's glove. With the Canadiens back on the power play, Slafkovsky received a pass from Mike Matheson from the point and one-timed a slap shot to essentially seal the win for his team. Slafkovsky finished the game with two PIM, three shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 17:15 TOI. The 2022 first overall pick is now on a modest three-game point streak with nine goals on the season to show for it. | None |
| Jan. 28, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. He finished with five shots and two hits over 17:09 of ice time. - Slafkovsky attempted a pass but it instead hit Ryan Graves and redirected into the net. It was Slafkovsky's seventh goal of the season and third over the last seven games. Four of his last five points have come on the power play. | None |
| Jan. 26, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a power-play assist and two hits over 12:44 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders. - Slafkovsky was removed from the top line but remained part of the top power-play unit and recorded his second power-play helper in three contests. He was productive while skating with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, but Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis tweaked the lines in the wake of a three-game losing skid, which included two losses to Ottawa and giving up nine goals to Boston. Slafkovsky joins a line that includes Sean Monahan, the Canadiens' hottest player, who has 10 points over the last six games. | None |
| Jan. 21, 2024 | Slafkovsky had a power-play assist, two shots and four hits over 20:06 of ice time in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Bruins. - Slafkovsky logged the secondary helper on Cole Caufield's tally that gave Montreal a 1-0 lead. It was the third point in the last four games for Slafkovsky. The 19-year-old does not look out of place on Montreal's top line and power-play unit. His 11 points over the last 17 games is a hopeful sign that a measured development process has worked. | None |
| Jan. 18, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on two shots and had two blocks over 17:29 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 win over New Jersey. - It was a night for Montreal's young guns as the 19-year-old Slafkovsky opened the scoring midway through the first period. He hung out in the slot and was in good position to take advantage of a loose puck batted back to him by linemate Cole Caufield. The Canadiens also got goals from the 20-year-old Joshua Roy and the 23-year-old Caufield. Slafkovsky has goals in two straight games and 10 points over the last 15 contests. | None |
| Jan. 16, 2024 | Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-3 win over Colorado. He finished with six shots and a block over 18:10 of ice time. - Three minutes after the Avalanche opened the scoring with a power-play tally, the Canadiens added one of their own. Slafkovsky filled a void at the corner of the net, and Nick Suzuki found him to tie the game. Slafkovsky needed a couple of whacks at the puck, but he potted his first goal in 10 games. The six shots tied a season-high for the 19-year-old forward, who's experienced a period of growth since joining Montreal's top line. | None |
| Jan. 11, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist and four hits over 19:08 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers. - Slafkovsky was originally awarded the goal but a review showed that David Savard's shot deflected off Philadelphia's Morgan Frost. The 19-year-old forward continues to shine since a move to Montreal's top line. Slafkovsky has eight points over the last 11 games, and he's third on the team overall with 63 hits through 40 contests. | None |
| Jan. 3, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on net, one blocked shot and two hits over 19:14 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Dallas. - Slafkovsky hounded Esa Lindell behind the goal line and with the help of a pinching Jordan Harris won a puck battle to set up Nick Suzuki for the Canadiens' first goal. It was the second straight game with an assist for Slafkovsky, who may have turned a corner during Montreal's extended holiday road trip. The 19-year-old forward logged six points (two goals, four assists) during the Canadiens' seven-game sojourn. | None |
| Jan. 1, 2024 | Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on net and one hit over 20:42 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning. - Mike Matheson's shot toward the net bounced off Slafkovsky onto the stick of Nick Suzuki, who beat Jonas Johansson for Montreal's final goal. Slafkovsky's recently reaped the rewards of skating on the top line with Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The 19-year old forward has two goals and four assists over the last seven contests. Prior to this productive stretch, Slafkovsky had just seven points over his first 29 games. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2023 | Slafkovsky had a goal and an assist in Montreal's 5-2 win over Chicago on Friday. - Slafkovsky earned his second straight multi-point game, bringing him up to four goals and 12 points in 33 contests this season. The 19-year-old sophomore has tremendous potential, so his current hot streak is a mere taste of what the future might have him store for him. As far as the 2023-24 campaign is concerned, though, Slafkovsky is likely to be an inconsistent offensive contributor and isn't a sure bet to even reach the 30-point mark. | None |
| Dec. 22, 2023 | Slafkovsky picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota. - Both of Slafkovsky's points came in the third period, setting up Nick Suzuki's power-play marker 1:09 into the frame before adding a goal with three minutes left in the contest, deflecting a David Savard shot to tie the game 3-3. The goal was Slafkovsky's first in 13 games -- he had just three assists in that span despite working on Montreal's first line and top power-play unit. Overall, the 19-year-old winger has three goals and 10 points through 32 games in his second NHL season. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2023 | Slafkovsky had one assist, three blocked shots and four hits over 19:26 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Islanders. - Slafkovsky was aggressive behind the New York net, forcing a turnover that led to Cole Caufield's tally. The helper was was his first point in six games since joining the top line and first in eight games overall. The Canadiens are being patient with Slafkovsky, who has just eight points in 30 games but is making plays along the boards and in puck battles that don't always show up on the scoresheet. | None |
| Dec. 5, 2023 | Slafkovsky had one shot and two hits over 17:14 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle. - Slafkovsky was moved to the top line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield after a tweak of the line combinations. While his line score doesn't suggest a productive night, Slafkovsky is doing the things not seen in a box score, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic. "If you don't move your feet, it's hard to use your size," Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis said. "There's anticipation and understanding where the game's going, so I think he's anticipating really well and he gets there on time so he can use his body." St. Louis wanted to give the 19-year-old forward stable linemates this season to foster his development, but that luxury has not been available to the coach due to injuries. St. Louis has left him in a top-six environment, including power-play ice time, and while Slafkovsky's play has pleased the Canadiens' coaching staff, it hasn't yet paid fantasy dividends. Slafkovsky has two goals on 34 shots (5.9 shooting percentage) and five assists through 25 games. | None |
| Nov. 25, 2023 | Slafkovsky recorded an assist, three shots on goal and one blocked shot over 19:44 of ice time in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks. - After retrieving a rebound directed to the corner by goalie Cayden Primeau, Slafkovsky fed Cole Caufield and watched him go directly to the net and beat Mackenzie Blackwood for the game-tying goal that set up the overtime/shootout. He opened the season with just two points through the first 15 games, but Friday's helper was the fourth point (one goal, three assists) in the last five games for Slafkovsky, who was on the ice for both of Montreal's regulation tallies. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis has exhibited patience and not made any rash decisions with the 2022 first-overall pick, and it appears to be paying off. | None |
| Nov. 18, 2023 | Slafkovsky scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Bruins. - Slafkovsky was in the bumper and finished a feed from Nick Suzuki, who was behind the net. It was his first goal in seven games, and his second this season. So far, Slafkovsky has just six goals in 57 games over two seasons. That seems light on the surface, but he's still just 19 years of age. His release is like lightning, and his size is tantalizing. And there's plenty of time for him to become an NHL force. Remember -- Jack Hughes had about the same number of goals in the same number of games early in his career. He's no Jack Hughes, but he has the potential to be an NHL star. | None |
| Nov. 15, 2023 | Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on goal, one blocked shot and four hits over 14:23 of ice time in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Calgary. - Slafkovsky picked up the secondary helper on Montreal's lone goal, his first point in five games. Unlocking the 2022 first-overall draft pick's offense has been a primary objective of Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis -- the coach is giving him stability in terms of TOI and linemates -- but Slafkovsky has just one goal on 24 shots and three points over 16 games. | None |
| Nov. 5, 2023 | Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal, had four shots on net and delivered one hit over 18:06 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blues. - Slafkovsky scoring his first goal in 11 games is one positive to take away from a rough night for the Canadiens, who lost in regulation for the second straight game to a team that played the previous night while Montreal rested. With the 19-year-old forward's play slipping, head coach Martin St. Louis could have demoted Slafkovsky to a lower line or scratched him, but the coach opted for a promotion to the top line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The decision looks like a good one, as Slafkovsky had a season-high SOG and a couple of subtle puck-touches that led to scoring chances, including one on his power-play strike. The new combination led the Habs in scoring chances and high-danger scoring chances, per Natural Stat Trick. | None |
| Nov. 3, 2023 | Slafkovsky recorded three hits over 14:17 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Arizona. - Slafkovsky raised his hit total to 17, fourth on the team, but he was selected first overall in the 2022 draft for offense. One has to go back to the first game of the season to find Slafkovsky's only point, an assist. The 19-year-old, who doesn't have a shot on goal in the first two games of a road trip that heads to St. Louis on Saturday, has forced a goalie to make a save just 10 times over 10 games. | None |
| Oct. 31, 2023 | Slafkovsky had one hit and two penalty minutes over 14:02 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Golden Knights. - Slafkovsky, who recorded an assist opening night, has gone pointless in eight games since. Despite the lack of scoring, he continues to skate on the second line and is part of the power play, as head coach Martin St. Louis is adamant about giving him regular TOI and linemates. While the points haven't been there, the coach focuses the 19-year-old's puck touches instead of goals and assists, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic. "Personally, I'm happy with Slaf because he's touching the puck a lot," St. Louis said prior to Monday's game. "Compared to last year, it's a big difference. So his evolution, already in 12 months, I find it very encouraging, and I'm very eager to see him in 12 months." It sounds like St. Louis will remain focused on process and ride it out with Slafkovsky, but at some point, the forward will be expected to produce offense. | None |
| Oct. 13, 2023 | Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on goal, three hits and finished plus-1 over 15:25 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to Toronto. - Slafkovsky had the primary assist on Alex Newhook's first goal, deftly slipping a backhand pass around a defender. He later kept the puck in the zone to initiate a sequence that led to Newhook's second marker. Wednesday's TOI was more than three minutes over his season average as a rookie in 2022-23. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis' plan is to give Slafkovsky more TOI and stable linemates in his second NHL season. | None |
| Oct. 8, 2023 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on three shots and delivered three hits in Saturday's 6-4 preseason win over the Senators. - Slafkovsky gave Montreal an early lead just 33 seconds into the game. The 19-year-old set a screen in front of Mads Sogaard, then buried his second preseason goal off the rebound. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis got Slafkovsky into a team-high five preseason games with an objective he gets as many touches as possible. Kirby Dach has been a frequent partner, and the duo was joined by Alex Newhook on Saturday. The second-year forward will skate on the second line with Dach and another winger to be determined. St. Louis plans to give him consistent playing time and linemates, which could result in a much better sophomore season for Slafkovsky. | None |
| Oct. 4, 2023 | Slafkovsky has been on the same line with Kirby Dach three times during preseason action, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports. - It appears head coach Martin St. Louis sees something about the combination of Slafkovsky and Dach, whose ability to create scoring chances could help elevate the 19-year-old Slovak. St. Louis believes an ideal linemate for Dach is a shooter and goal scorer, which is what the Canadiens drafted Slafkovsky to do. The coach wants to give Slafkovsky more minutes this season along with a stable role and line, something he did not have during his rookie 2022-23 season. | None |
| Sept. 29, 2023 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's preseason win over Ottawa. - Slafkovsky, playing his first game since last season, pounced on loose puck from a net-front scramble and beat Joonas Korpisalo with snap shot to give Montreal a 2-0 lead in the second period. The 19-year-old, after whetting his scoring appetite, looked for more later in the period but shot wide or was denied. Expectations are high for the 2022 first-overall pick, whose rookie season ended with four goals and 10 points over 39 games before a season-ending knee injury in January. "I'm just hoping for him to grow this season," head coach Martin St. Louis told Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette. "And growing is not necessarily in a straight line. There's going to be some dips and stuff, but I'm pretty sure from now until the end of the season, when we connect these dots, it's going up." Slafkovsky is penciled in as a third-line winger, but his role could grow if he shows development. | None |
| Sept. 11, 2023 | Slafkovsky (lower body) will be available for the start of training camp, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports. - Slafkovsky's rookie campaign in 2022-23 was cut short due to a lower-body injury in mid-January. In 39 outings last season, he earned four goals, six assists and 53 hits. Slafkovsky will compete for a middle-six role during camp. | None |
| Jan. 18, 2023 | Slafkovsky is expected to be sidelined for three months with a lower-body injury that won't require surgery. - Slafkovsky will almost certainly miss the rest of the regular season, and with the Canadiens sitting in last place in the Atlantic Divison, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see the No. 1 overall pick from the 2022 Entry Draft back in action until the 2023-24 campaign. If that ends up being the case, Slafkovsky will finish his rookie season having picked up four goals, 10 points and a minus-13 rating while averaging 12:13 of ice time through 39 appearances. | None |
| Jan. 17, 2023 | Slafkovsky (lower body) landed on injured reserve Monday. - Slafkovsky is currently stuck in a 15-game pointless streak dating back to Dec. 14 against Ottawa while also having failed to score in 21 straight outings. With Joel Armia (upper body) and Jake Evans (lower body) also going on IR, the team has recalled Rafael Harvey-Pinard and Rem Pitlick from the minors to fill out the lineup. The team hasn't provided any specifics on when Slafkovsky might be cleared to return, so fantasy players should consider him out indefinitely at this point. | None |
| Jan. 15, 2023 | Slafkovsky suffered a lower-body injury Sunday against the Rangers, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. - Salfkovsky posted a minus-1 rating with two PIM in 9:04 of ice time Sunday. The rookie winger will be evaluated in Montreal ahead of Tuesday's tilt with the Jets. | None |
| Dec. 15, 2022 | Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on goal, one hit and two penalty minutes in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Senators. - Slafkovsky was the secondary helper on Kirby Dach's goal, initiating a third-period comeback that Montreal could not complete. It was his second consecutive game with an assist, and the rookie has five points over the last seven contests. Slafkovsky's offensive skills are no longer being wasted on the fourth line. | None |
| Dec. 13, 2022 | Slafkovsky had an assist, three shots on goal and four hits over a season-high 15:22 of ice time in Monday's 2-1 shootout win over Calgary. - Slafkovsky cycled away from defenders in the corner, stalling until a play could be made, and found Josh Anderson at the crease for the game-tying goal in the third period. The rookie forward skated on the third line and will provide depth offense for Montreal, which is dealing with injuries to several forwards. It was the fourth point in six games for Slafkovsky, whose days on the fourth line may be over. | None |
| Dec. 6, 2022 | Slafkovsky registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken. - Slafkovsky helped out on Josh Anderson's game-winning marker early in the second period. Over the last seven games, Slafkovsky has a goal and three assists -- it looks like he's getting more comfortable while seeing third-line minutes. The rookie winger is up to eight points, 25 shots, 19 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 21 outings. | None |
| Dec. 4, 2022 | Slafkovsky had a power-play assist, one hit and one blocked shot over 14:25 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers. - Slafkovsky set up Arber Xhekaj 10 seconds into a second-period 5-on-3 advantage that knotted the score at three goals apiece. The assist was his first on the power play and third overall. After opening the season on the fourth line, the rookie has been deployed on the second line the last two games. Slafkovsky has seven points, 25 shots, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots and 23 PIM while averaging 11:16 TOI over 19 contests. | None |
| Dec. 1, 2022 | Slafkovsky scored a goal in Montreal's 2-1 win against Calgary on Thursday. - Slafkovsky has four goals, six points and 23 PIM in 18 games this season. Entering Thursday's contest, he was averaging just 11:00 of ice time, but that includes 1:04 on the power play. His overall minimal role clearly limits his current fantasy value, but the fact that he's being used on the power play does keep things interesting. | None |
| Nov. 29, 2022 | Slafkovsky was at Monday's practice after briefly leaving Friday's game following a hard hit, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports. - Slafkovsky was forced to leave the bench Friday before returning. He did not get on the ice after returning to the bench. He apparently cleared the NHL's concussion protocol, although the hit looked high on the body but not to the head. Given his presence at practice Monday, Slafkovsky is expected to play Tuesday against the Sharks. | None |
| Nov. 26, 2022 | Slafkovsky briefly left Friday's 3-2 shootout win over Chicago in the third period after taking a hit from Jason Dickinson, but he eventually returned to the ice, Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette reports. - The hit was high on the body but legal and no penalty was called. The Canadiens and Slavkovsky have three days off before next playing Tuesday at home against the Sharks. | None |

It was the rookie's second assist of the season, both coming in the last four contests. After one game on the second line, Slafkovsky was back on the familiar fourth line, but he remained part of the power play. | None |
| Nov. 23, 2022 | Slafkovsky had two shots on goal, one blocked shot and two penalty minutes over 14:22 of ice time in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Buffalo. - Slafkovsky is usually part of the fourth line but was promoted to the second line with Mike Hoffman idled by a lower-body injury. He also was given a season-high 4:23 on the second power-play unit. The 18-year-old has three goals and one assist through 14 games but has shown offense from the lowest line with a 15.8 shooting percentage. | None |

| Nov. 13, 2022 | Slafkovsky has finished serving his two-game suspension for boarding Detroit's Matt Luff (wrist). - Slafkovsky will be eligible to return to the lineup Tuesday against New Jersey.

| Nov. 6, 2022 | Slafkovsky scored a goal on three shots and blocked a shot over 11:34 of ice time in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Vegas. - Slafkovsky finished off the scoring with just under five minutes remaining in the third period. It was the rookie's third goal in nine games played. He's seeing time mainly on the fourth line, as head coach Martin St. Louis eases the 18-year-old into the NHL, but he could emerge as depth scoring for a team that needs secondary snipers. Slafkovsky told Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette that he's learning to find more opportunities to shoot. He has just nine shots on net but fired a season-high three Saturday. | None |
| Oct. 29, 2022 | Slavkovsky (upper body) will be back in the Montreal lineup Saturday as they visit the St. Louis Blues, according to RDS.ca. - Slavkovsky missed the last three games with the injury. The first overall selection of the 2022 Draft has a solitary goal in five games. He will see likely see action on the third line Saturday with Sean Monahan and Kirby Dach. | None |
| Oct. 27, 2022 | Slafkovsky (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's game against Buffalo. - It will be Slafkovsky's third straight game on the sidelines. The good news is that he did participate in Wednesday's practice, so he has been making progress towards his eventual return. | None |
| Oct. 26, 2022 | Slafkovsky (upper body) hasn't been cleared yet, but will travel with the Canadiens on the road. - Slafkovsky was on the ice for Wednesday's practice. He appears to be trending in the right direction and could play during Montreal's four-game trip after sitting out the past two games. | None |
| Oct. 24, 2022 | Slafkovsky (upper body) won't be available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. - Slafkovsky wasn't available to play in Saturday's loss to Dallas either. He didn't take part in Monday's practice because he was scheduled to go through some medical testing. It is expected that a timetable for his return could emerge Wednesday. | None |
| Oct. 22, 2022 | Slafkovsky is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. - Slafkovsky was the first overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and potted his first NHL goal Thursday. He will be replaced by Rem Pitlick on the fourth line Saturday as Montreal hosts the Stars. | None |
| Oct. 20, 2022 | Slafkovsky scored his first goal, and first point, in the NHL during Thursday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes. - With Montreal already ahead 3-0 midway through the second period, the 18-year-old grabbed an attempted clearing pass in the Arizona zone, moved into the faceoff circle and ripped a shot over Connor Ingram's glove. Slafkovsky actually led the Canadiens in TOI at even strength, and it appears as though the team is going to give the first overall pick in this year's draft a real chance to stick on the NHL roster. | None |
| Oct. 18, 2022 | Slafkovsky had three hits over 9:52 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins. - After three games at left wing on the third line, Slafkovsky started on the fourth line Monday. The demotion was part of several lineup tweaks implemented by Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis, but it doesn't necessarily reflect on the 18-year-old rookie's play over the first three games. The Canadiens entered Monday's contest having scored one goal over six periods, so changes were inevitable. If the fourth line is the best place of Slavkovsky in the NHL, then a better place may be AHL Laval, where he can get more developmental ice time. | None |
| Oct. 16, 2022 | Slafkovsky was plus-1 over 12:41 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Washington. - By design, the 18-year-old Slafkovsky's been kept under wraps early in the start of his NHL career. Saturday's TOI was the highest over the first three games, but he's yet to get work on the power play and saddled on the third line. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis is comfortable with that for now, Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports. St. Louis wants to integrate the man-sized forward slowly without undue expectations and learn the five-on-five game. The coach noted he had more puck touches Saturday, which is an important part of Slafkovsky's development. It's unknown if that development will continue at the NHL level, or if the organization decides AHL Laval is the best environment for Slafkovsky. | None |
| Oct. 10, 2022 | Slafkovsky is on Montreal's roster to begin the 2022-23 campaign. - There was some question as to whether or not the 2022 No. 1 overall pick would begin the year with the Canadiens or AHL Laval. With Opening Night rosters set, Salfkovsky should make his NHL debut Wednesday against the Maple Leafs. It's unclear how the big-bodied rookie will be deployed out of the gate but his early performance will likely influence his spot in the lineup. | None |
