It was a tough week for the Canadiens, but a better stretch of games for a lot of individuals.
| Goalies | Trend | Notes |
| Carey Price |  |
Price was absolutely fantastic this past week, despite only netting one win. He went 1-1-1 while sporting a 1.30 GAA and a .963 save percentage. He faced 107 shots in those three games, including countless odd-man rushes and breakaways. Price is in top end form heading towards the Olympic Games. |
| Peter Budaj |  |
Budaj only started one game this week, however it was a masterful performance versus the much hated Bruins. He only allowed one goal in 35 shots and continued his dominant ways versus the Habs’ biggest rivals. |
| Defensemen | ||
| P.K. Subban |  |
Subban escaped ‘The Sea of Minus’ in which he was stuck last week, however he’s still very much entrenched in the ‘Ocean of no Creativity’. He didn’t have a horrible sequence of games, but Montreal will need him to be better if they hope to clinch a playoff spot. |
| Andrei Markov |  |
Markov had a very good series of games in terms of offensive production, 3 points in 4 games. The schedule might be taking it’s toll on the General; he had to take a therapy day last week. His defensive coverage is still suspect, however this was a much better week for Andrei. |
| Josh Gorges |  |
Gorges blocked a ton of shots, as per usual, however he was caught out of position on a several occasions. To his defense he did have to play with Murray on a few shifts, due to Therrien’s constant line shuffling. |
| Alexei Emelin | |
Emelin had his best game of the year versus the Bruins. He’s still relegated to his off-side, and he’ll never truly flourish there, but as it stands he’s did an ok job covering the right side. |
| Raphael Diaz |  |
Raphael Diaz has been a healthy scratch since January 18th, despite putting up the fourth best defensive numbers of any D. He was traded to the Canucks for Dale Weise. |
| Francis Bouillon | |
Bouillon has been a healthy scratch since January 24th. |
| Douglas Murray |  |
Murray had a decent game versus the Bruins, but struggled against Tampa Bay and Winnipeg. |
| Davis Drewiske |  |
Drewiske has been skating with the injured players, and seems to be poised to make a return to play in the upcoming weeks. |
| Nathan Beaulieu |  |
Beaulieu continues to impress during his call-up, providing much needed mobility and creativity on the blue line. He also adds an important offensive element to the second PP unit. |
| Forwards | ||
| Tomas Plekanec | |
Coming off his worst week of the year, Plekanec definitely had a better stretch of games in the last 4 games. 2 points in his last 3 games, including 11 shots earns him an upwards trend. |
| Brian Gionta | |
Gionta had 3 points in the last 3 games, including 2 goals. As per usual his trend follows Plekanec, however this week Gionta was arguably the better player. |
| Daniel Briere | |
Although he receives minimal ice time, Briere proved his worth by putting up 3 points in the last 3 games. He had a rough game versus Winnipeg, but he’s doing all he can with the little TOI he’s given. |
| Lars Eller | |
Eller has not produced a single point in his last 14 games. If you look up cold in the dictionary and there’s a picture of Lars frowning. His defensive play was decent this week, but he needs to start putting up offensive numbers as soon as possible. |
| Alex Galchenyuk | |
Galchenyuk is practicing, doing mostly skating drills, as it seems his wrist isn’t strong enough yet to be doing any puck work. He’s expected to return after the Olympics. |
| Brandon Prust | |
Prust did manage to score a goal versus Carolina, and had a 7 hit game versus the Jets, however he’s still struggling to contribute on a regular basis. |
| David Desharnais |  |
A solid game versus Boston gave way to two tough games versus the Jets and Lightning, respectively. As a #1 C Desharnais is on pace for 40 points this year, all the while benefitingfrom playing with Montreal’s best winger. |
| Max Pacioretty | |
3 points in the last 4 games is enough to give Pacioretty a neutral trend this time around. The strong start to the week compensated for a mediocre weekend performance. |
| Brendan Gallagher |  |
Same story for Gallagher as Pacioretty, a strong start to the week followed by a tough time on the weekend. However Gallagher’s effort level in both weekend losses are enough to get him an upwards trend. |
| Ryan White | |
Ryan White continues to rehab his shoulder, and is expected to miss at least another week or two. |
| Travis Moen | |
The Saskatchewan native put up 5 hits in a good performance versus the Bruins, however he struggled in the rest of the games last week. He’s currently pointless in his last 8 games. |
| Michael Bournival | |
Bournival missed Saturday’s game versus the Lightning with the flu. He’s currently on a 9 game pointless streak and hasn’t managed to create many offensive chances in recent games. |
| Rene Bourque | |
Bourque is on pace for 14 points this year, which includes a healthy dose of PP TOI. He’s pointless in the last three games, despite playing a little better lately. |
| George Parros | |
Parros played in 3 out of the 4 games this week and wasn’t noticeably terrible (for his standards). |
| Christian Thomas | |
The recent call-up was neither good, nor bad in the two games he participated in this weekend. He predictably saw very limited TOI. |
