Availability
Alex Newhook registered an assist in Wednesday’s 6-3 loss to Los Angeles, extending his productive start to February.
Fantasy Impact
Newhook has tallied four points in three games this month, equaling his total from all of January. The 24-year-old appears to be meshing well on a revamped second line alongside Kirby Dach and Josh Anderson. While his 17 points through 54 games remain underwhelming, his recent uptick in production makes him a name to monitor. He’ll need to maintain this level of play over a longer stretch before becoming a reliable fantasy asset.
Alex Newhook scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over San Jose. He gave the Canadiens their first lead of the game in the second period before setting up Brendan Gallagher’s tally in the third. This marked Newhook’s first multi-point outing since Dec. 28 against Florida.
Fantasy Impact
Newhook continues to see steady second-line minutes but hasn't delivered consistent fantasy production. With just 16 points (10 goals, six assists) through 53 games, he's well off last season’s pace of 34 points in 55 appearances. While his three power-play points offer some upside, his minus-13 rating and limited scoring make him a fringe fantasy option in most formats. Managers should monitor his role, but he remains a risky depth play.
Alex Newhook scored on his lone shot in the Canadiens' 3-2 victory over the Lightning on Tuesday. The goal added to his recent offensive surge, giving him four points in his last five games.
Fantasy Impact
Newhook has been showing signs of improvement, averaging nearly 16 minutes of ice time during his recent stretch. However, his lack of power-play production remains a concern, with just one power-play point this season despite consistent opportunities. While Newhook has hit the 30-point mark in each of his previous campaigns, he’s at risk of falling short this year. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues may find value in his recent form, but his overall output makes him more of a fringe option.
Alex Newhook recorded an assist and four shots on goal in the Canadiens' 5-4 overtime victory against the Rangers on Sunday. The 23-year-old set up Christian Dvorak’s second-period tally, marking his third point in the last four games.
Fantasy Impact
Newhook remains a fixture on Montreal’s second line but has struggled to produce consistently this season. With just 12 points, 62 shots on net, and 43 hits through 46 games, he’s well off the pace of his previous 30-point campaigns. His minus-11 rating also detracts from his appeal in most fantasy formats. While his recent production shows signs of life, Newhook’s value is limited to deeper leagues where his modest contributions might still be worthwhile. Fantasy managers should approach with caution unless he demonstrates sustained improvement.
Alex Newhook was able to light the lamp for the Canadiens Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
Fantasy Impact
Newhook has not made a consistent impact in the offensive zone, picking up points in just two of his last seven games (two goals) for the Canadiens. The 23-year-old makes more of an impact in other ways in the Montreal lineup, posting 12 blocked shots and 20 hits to go along with six points (six goals) in 27 games so far this season.
