Mike Matheson News
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson bagged two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Columbus. The Canadiens fell behind twice, but Matheson's good eye for a pass helped the team grab the victory. Both of his helpers came inside the final few minutes of the contest. Matheson soaks in massive minutes on the Canadiens blue line and has been one of the team's best players. With 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) to his name through 22 games, Matheson is ranked third in scoring on the team, sitting just one point behind Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Monday's meeting with the Golden Knights. He was injured at the weekend against Winnipeg but was able to skate Monday morning, which is a good sign. However, it's still possible Matheson has to sit out his first action of the campaign. Things have gone well for the veteran so far, as Matheson has notched six points (two goals, four assists) in eight games. In Saturday's 4-3 shootout win against the Jets, Matheson became the second-fastest defenseman in franchise history to record 40 points with the team, having skated in his 56th game.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) returned to action as the team closed out the preseason with a 6-4 win over Ottawa Saturday night. The veteran blue-liner made an immediate impact, with Juraj Slafkovsky opening the scoring just 33 seconds into the game off Matheson's assist. In 20:25 of ice time, Matheson added five shots on goal to his tally with one block and one hit. The return of Matheson is huge for the Canadiens after the 29-year-old became a leader on the blue line last season. He could become a big factor in fantasy hockey as well in 2023-24 if he can avoid further health issues.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson sat out Wednesday's preseason clash versus Ottawa with a lower-body injury. Matheson had a stop-start campaign in 2022-23 due to health issues, so it's definitely a worry that he's dealing with another issue, but according to head coach Martin St. Louis, Matheson would have played if it had been a regular-season game. This suggests that it's only a very minor problem. Matheson played some of the best hockey of his career when healthy last season, recording 34 points (six goals, 26 assists) across 48 outings. He is poised to continue to play a massive role on the Canadiens blue line after averaging a career-high 24:27 of ice time in 2022-23.
