Next Game
Eligibility
Availability
Joel Armia found the back of the net while shorthanded in Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over San Jose. The veteran winger has now tallied two shorthanded goals in as many games to begin February, already surpassing his goal total from January. Armia skated on the third line Tuesday as part of Montreal’s shuffled forward combinations.
Fantasy Impact
Armia continues to provide sneaky value in deeper formats with his special-teams production, contributing three shorthanded and three power-play points this season. While his overall scoring remains modest at 10 goals and 24 points through 53 games, his versatility and middle-six role offer occasional fantasy streaming appeal, particularly in leagues that reward shorthanded scoring.
Joel Armia assisted on the Montreal Canadiens' lone Thursday night against the Colorado Avalanche. He only contributed a single hit in addition to the assist.
Fantasy Impact
Armia has been quiet all year, and hasn't been fantasy relevant since his 2019-2020 season where he scored 30 points in 58 games. His five points this season is not enough to consider rostering him in most fantasy leagues.
Joel Armia was able to double his season goal total with two versus the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact
The goals ended a six-game point drought for Armia, and were also the first he has scored since January 21. The 27-year-old has seven points in 12 games.
Joel Armia buried his 13th goal of the year with just under two minutes remaining in the first period to give the Canadiens a 3-0 lead over Vegas Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact

Joel Arima scored his ninth goal of the season as the Canadiens fell 5-4 to the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
The 26-year-old Finnish winger has started the season as a Top 100 fantasy option/depth piece with nine goals and five assists through 24 games. Look for him to surpass his career high of 13 goals which he set in 57 games in 2018-19.
