Jake Evans Fantasy Stats

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (lower body) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, the team announced on Saturday. He was already placed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 20, missing two games. Saturday's update suggests Evans will likely return to action in February. In 34 outings this season, Evans has registered 10 points (five goals, five assists) and 44 hits. Phillip Danault has taken over third-line center duties. Meanwhile, Samuel Blais may see regular action until Evans returns. Despite skating on the fourth line, Blais has found the score sheet in back-to-back games.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (lower body) won't play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's home game against the Penguins and won't travel to Pittsburgh for a rematch. Evans has managed 10 points (five goals, five assists) and 44 hits across 34 games this season. On the negative side, he carries a team-worst minus-13 rating. Newly reacquired Phillip Danault (illness) could be Evans' replacement in the lineup next week. However, he won't be available for Sunday's action, and defenseman Jayden Struble might fill the gap in the lineup.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (personal) will hop back into the lineup on Saturday against the New York Rangers. He skipped Thursday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins for personal reasons. Evans will take his usual spot on the third line, skating with Josh Anderson and Alexandre Texier. Jared Davidson will depart the lineup on Saturday to make room for Evans. Following a 36-point year, Evans' scoring rate has significantly dropped in 2025-26. He has managed only four goals and eight points in 29 appearances. The 26-year-old has not scored any points in his last six outings.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (personal) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He will miss the game for personal reasons. Montreal expects to have Evans back for Saturday's contest against the New York Rangers. Evans has gone six games without scoring any points. Across the season, he has totaled eight points (four goals, four assists) in 29 outings while amassing a team-worst minus-19 rating. Owen Beck was recalled from the minors on Wednesday and figures to enter the lineup against Pittsburgh. The 21-year-old has not scored any points in two NHL appearances this season and does not provide any fantasy value.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (undisclosed) will play on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. His status for the contest was initially uncertain after Evans made an early exit on Thursday against the Washington Capitals. Against Toronto, Evans will center the third line, flanked by Josh Anderson and debutant Florian Xhekaj. With Kirby Dach (foot), Alex Newhook (ankle), and Patrik Laine (lower body) all on the shelf, Evans' playing time has been on the rise lately. However, he hasn't provided consistent offensive production, amassing six points (three goals, three assists) in 20 games.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans (undisclosed) left Thursday's loss to the Washington Capitals early, exiting the action following a big hit from Capitals forward Tom Wilson. Evans logged 12:19 of ice time against Washington, finishing an 8-4 loss with a minus-one rating. Before Thursday night, Evans had scored points in back-to-back games. In total, he has managed three goals and six points in 20 games. Evans has recently had a chance to be a bigger part of Montreal's plans due to the absences of Kirby Dach (foot) and Alex Newhook (ankle). If he can't play on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Evans would miss his first contest of the campaign.

Montreal Canadiens center Jake Evans has agreed to a four-year extension with the team. The 28-year-old was heading toward unrestricted free agency before finalizing a $11.4 million deal. Evans plays a key role in Montreal's penalty kill and has also made an offensive impact, tallying 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) in 61 games. The Toronto-born forward needs just one more point to match his career-high. However, Evans did most of his scoring early in the season. He has registered only five points since the calendar was turned.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans (lower body) was ruled out for 8-10 weeks on Wednesday. He has already been unavailable for a couple of games and now we know that Evans won't return to action any time soon. The 26-year-old is forced to pause his season after recording two goals and 11 points in 43 games. Evans has been a non-factor in fantasy hockey, but the Canadiens could've really used him right now after seeing multiple forwards drop out of the lineup with injuries. All the injuries have pushed Jesse Ylonen to the top line, and veterans Mike Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov look set to figure more prominently in the upcoming weeks.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans (illness) will be back in action Thursday against Philadelphia. He was forced to miss Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Minnesota with a non-COVID illness but has made a quick recovery. The 25-year-old is set to replace Laurent Dauphin in the lineup. It's unclear on which line Evans will skate, but Montreal has given him a lot of action throughout the season and he should have an active role in the contest. Evans scored his 11th goal of the season against Washington in his previous appearance and he's totaled 24 points in 67 games.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to Florida and is considered day-to-day. The 25-year-old left with eight minutes to go in regulation after he took a tumble on a breakaway and crashed into the boards behind the net. Evans saw some success offensively at the start of the month and has complied 21 points across 58 outings this season. Montreal has Wednesday off before facing Carolina Thursday night. The game likely comes too soon for Evans, but he shouldn't be out for long.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans wasn't able to complete Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory against Calgary after suffering an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old had a very rough outing as he took a hit to the head and suffered a couple of high sticks. He ended up logging 7:49 of action before finally calling it a night. Evans entered the contest on a three-game point streak. The Toronto-born forward has a history of concussions and it appears very unlikely that he will be available for Saturday's clash with the Oilers.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans will sit out Saturday's matchup against St. Louis with an undisclosed injury. He got hurt Thursday night against Chicago and is considered day-to-day. Evans boasts just six points for the campaign, but he had been skating on the second line recently. Joel Armia (undisclosed) will take his spot as he returns from a two-game absence. The Finnish winger, who has only one goal and four assists this season, will skate with Jonathan Drouin and Ryan Poehling. He's also set to eat up minutes on the second power-play unit.

The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Jake Evans to a three-year, $5.1 million contract extension ($1.7 million average annual value) on Sunday. The 25-year-old is coming off a 13-point (three goal, 10 assists) rookie campaign and is expected to see more time in Montreal's top-nine forward group in 2021-2022. Evans has displayed offensive ability in each of his stops prior to Montreal (138 points in 158 games with Notre Dame (NCAA), 83 points in 118 games with Laval (AHL)) and should be more of a NHL scoring-threat as he gains more experience. As for now, Evans (1% owned in Yahoo! leagues) remains more of a streaming option in deeper fantasy formats.
