For the first time since 2016-2017, the Habs could qualify for the playoffs in front of a packed house. Before, they had to beat the Senators in regular time.
The supporters of the Canadiens and some media had the chance to welcome Ivan Demidov at the airport, last night. The Russian did not speak to anyone, but that was to be expected with the long flight, the time difference, etc.
Jacob Fowler is this year’s recipient of the Mike Richard Award, presented annually to the NCAA’s most outstanding goaltender, reports Daily Faceoff’s Tyler Kuehl.
The name Ivan Demidov, does it ring a bell? Without joking, the prospect of the Canadiens has finally arrived in Canada last night and let’s say it didn’t go unnoticed.
Ivan Demidov is currently in Toronto. The Canadiens are in Ottawa. We know he won’t play tonight (it was never in the plans) and it would be very surprising to see him take his first steps in the National League in Toronto on Saturday.
Marco D’Amico of RG Media: After breaking the story on Tuesday of Ivan Demidov signing with the Montreal Canadiens, D’Amico is reporting that the belief is that the young Russian and fifth overall pick from the 2024 NHL Draft will debut against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Montreal Canadiens entered the 2024-25 season just wanting to play important games late in the season. Reaching the playoffs wasn’t a priority for the Canadiens, but they’re knocking on the door of the postseason.
The buzz was undeniable. Last night at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, a crowd of eager Canadiens fans gathered near the arrivals gate, hearts pounding in anticipation.
The Montreal Canadiens are easily one of the biggest surprises of the 2024-25 season as they close in on clinching a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Top prospect Ivan Demidov is closing in on his NHL debut not long after being selected by the Canadiens fifth overall at the 2024 NHL Draft.
As the 2024-25 regular season wraps up and the Montreal Canadiens gear up for a long-awaited playoff run, it’s a good time to shift focus, just for a moment, to the future.
The Montreal Canadiens currently occupy the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. They have a nice six point cushion between them and their nearest competition.
The Ottawa Senators have already clinched their spot in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. However, big games still remain on the regular-season schedule, including Friday's home contest against a Montreal Canadiens squad that also has a lot on the line.
The Montreal Canadiens are closing in on their first berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in four years. One of the most significant contributors to the Habs’ second-half surge is their captain, Nick Suzuki.
It’s almost time to put the pencils down, class. The Calder Trophy race has been one for the ages. It’s one thing to get one franchise player at the top of a rookie fight.
There Montreal Canadiens forward Josh Anderson was. On the ice in the dying minutes, Anderson cleared a loose puck out of goalie Sam Montembeault’s crease as the Habs were preserving a 2-1 lead over the Detroit Red Wings, a lead Anderson himself gave them with a goal midway through the third.
The Canadiens are in the driver's seat for the eighth playoff spot in the East. They are also about to get an absolutely massive boost to their lineup.
