Habs Point Projections and Rising Stars | Montreal Canadiens News

NHL season looms, and NHL.com’s Canadiens point projections hint at steady growth—with a few surprises. With 84 games this year, players have more runway to score. Nick Suzuki’s projected 98 points dips from his 101 last year, but he’s still young and could rebound. Rookie stars like Alex Newhook and Alexandre Texier could nearly double their point totals if healthy—Texier especially could become a second-line steal. Zach Bolduc’s output hinges on his role. On defense, Lane Hutson’s projected 90 points signals early-career potential, while Mike Matheson and Noah Dobson face uncertainty—Dobson may get more power-play time, but Matheson must replicate his even-strength success without the man-advantage boost.
