All the latest Habs news, recent Montreal Canadiens stories, as well as news and information from around the National Hockey League.

Harvard Crimson captain Henry Thrun has advised the Anaheim Ducks he will not sign a contract following the conclusion of his NCAA career. Given Kent Hughes’ background, the interesting prospect should be very familiar to Canadiens management.
Habs fans submitted proposals for the upcoming trade deadline and we analyzed the results. Let’s just say it was a little more difficult than anticipated to put together a trade that works for two teams.
The Canadiens announced Joel Edmundson is progressing nicely, but centre Kirby Dach’s illness has become serious and is now considered a lower-body injury.
Consequently, the Canadiens claimed centre Chris Tierney off waivers from the Florida Panthers. Tierney has two goals and one assist in 19 games with the Panthers this season.

NYI: A closer look at a few likely trade deadline deals that could involve the New York Islanders.
BOS: Ever the villain, Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand is ready to embrace the hate in Seattle. He’s ready for the Kraken fans to shower him with boos.
PGH: Check out this update on the possible trade-deadline moves from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
PHI: The Canadiens will face the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday. Forward Sean Couturier will not be in the lineup, but he is making progress toward an eventual return to play.
DET: Jakub Vrana only recently returned to the NHL. He’s been assigned to the AHL, but there are healthy odds he won’t be away from the Detroit Red Wings lineup for very long.
WSH: The Washington Capitals held a pair of players out of the lineup due to the increasingly-popular excuse NHL teams are labelling ‘trade-related reasons’.
VGK: The Vegas Golden Knights made a few changes ahead of their matchup against the Calgary Flames.
SJS: Former San Jose Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov is back! Kind of.
