Alex Newhook records two assists in win

Alex Newhook dished out two assists in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Sabres. The 24-year-old helped set up the opening goal of the game and later assisted on Lane Hutson's game-winning tally in the third period.

Fantasy Impact

Newhook is off to a solid start with four points (1G, 3A) through seven games while skating in a middle-six role. His fantasy ceiling is capped, as he has seen his power-play time all but disappear this season with the team's increased forward depth. However, he is benefiting from an improved supporting cast and is on pace to set a new career-high, making him a viable option in deeper fantasy formats.

Alex Newhook opens scoring in victory

Alex Newhook scored the game's opening goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win against the Kraken. He also contributed two hits in the contest.

Fantasy Impact

Newhook has two points through four games to start the season. The 24-year-old is currently skating on the third line, as Kirby Dach's return to health has pushed Newhook to the wing. This middle-six role severely caps his offensive upside, making it difficult for him to be a consistent fantasy contributor. He can be left on the waiver wire in most standard leagues.

Alex Newhook extends hot streak with assist in loss to Kings

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 registers two points in win over Sharks

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 scores in win over Lightning

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.
