The Canadiens earned their split on the road against the Hurricanes, but two recurring questions left the coach and captain a bit annoyed.

Hutson's offensive ability is obvious, but his defensive ability takes more time to appreciate. The playoffs have provided that time.

Hutson and Demidov are cut from the same cloth, and their process-driven approach has the Canadiens on the cusp of the conference final.

What this young, rebuilding team team is experiencing in these playoffs is helping their development.

Slafkovský's first playoff hat trick comes nowhere close to fully explaining how far he has come with the Canadiens.

UC Berkeley study finds employment held steady — and only pennies were added to menu prices.

Ivan Demidov's rookie success with the Montreal Canadiens comes as a result of a life-changing decision his parents made 13 years ago.

On a night Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovský were blanked, the Canadiens showed they can be more than a one-line team.

Cole Caufield's 40th goal and Brendan Gallagher's 900th game were significant, but perhaps less so than the real Kaiden Guhle showing up.

Slafkovský admits his return from Milan was difficult, Fowler explains the origins of his nickname and Hutson gives a hockey lesson.

In addition to Fowler, the Canadiens welcomed Alexandre Texier back to the lineup. Keeping him there will require hard decisions.

Less than 24 hours away from the NHL trade deadline, the Canadiens must consider how potential acquisitions fit within their healthy environment, writes Eric Engels.

Games at this stage of the season are about attention to detail and consistency, and the Canadiens were severely lacking in both departments against the Sharks. "Too loose" was how Kaiden Guhle desc...

Also this week, Bo Horvat on his old skating partner and Olympic teammate Suzuki, and a peek inside Lane Hutson's hockey brain.

Suzuki was a big factor in an important Canadiens win, and how quickly he got back to Montreal from the Olympics helps explain why.

Nick Suzuki has levelled up his game, and all the Canadiens were doing in their win over the Capitals was following the captain's lead, writes Eric Engels.

The Canadiens are expected to begin the final stretch with Bolduc in the press box, a difficult decision that leads to many questions.

There was a lot on Nick Suzuki's mind in the late stages of Canada's quarterfinal game, and despite that, his brain made the difference.

The Canadiens hit the break with a ton of positives, but one of them is they still have negatives they can improve on when they return.

Lane Hutson has always looked up to Quinn Hughes, and the star Minnesota Wild defenceman made it clear the appreciation is mutual.

In Thursday's win over the Avalanche, Montreal's D-corps looked as strong as any in the league.

As the Canadiens attempt to forge a new defensive path to success, they defeated a team attempting to blaze that trail.

Jakub Dobes gave the Canadiens much more than a solid performance in net during Tuesday's win over the Golden Knights.

Also in this week's notebook, a look at Juraj Slafkovský's and Ivan Demidov's ascendence, and Slafkovský's hot tub lineup ritual.

Bolduc's long-term development will help the Canadiens become a contending team, and his development took a big step in a big loss.

For the last 37 minutes of Thursday’s game, the Canadiens played true to their identity. But as their coach pointed out, a lack of forechecking in the first 23 minutes cost them dearly.

"We kind of just let it slip away." The Canadiens came away with a win, but they certainly didn't deserve it. Eric Engels digs into the lessons the Habs need to learn after a stolen win against the S...

The Canadiens' last loss in Buffalo came as they started on their rebuild, and though their road has been longer, the Sabres have caught up.

Everything Demidov has done since stepping out of Russia and into the brightest spotlight in the NHL, in Montreal, has been nothing short of impressive.

Reinventing the job on the fly, Hall of Famer is guiding the most exciting edition of the Habs in decades, high-scoring and entertaining.

The Canadiens hit the halfway mark of the season on pace for 100 points; Slafkovský and Hutson are the biggest reasons.

This was a gutsy win, earned on the second half of a back-to-back, against a rested Dallas Stars team, and it showed just how well the pieces have fallen into place for the Montreal Canadiens.

On Sunday in Dallas - after 15 days on the road - the exhausted Montreal Canadiens turned in one of their best games this decade, beating the Stars 4-3 in overtime.

Engström had time to prepare for his NHL opportunity in Laval, and Reinbacher is going through the same process.

Juraj Slafkovský is asserting his will on Canadiens opponents, Martin St. Louis' logic in selecting his top power-play unit might be flawed.
