## Resource

Alex Newhook played all 82 games for Montreal this season, putting up career highs in goals, assists, and points per 60 minutes before an ankle injury cut short his scoring surge. While his underlying possession stats were poor and the team was outshot with him on ice, the Canadiens actually outscored opponents during his shifts. The disconnect hints at chemistry issues or linemate mismatches, not lack of talent. But in the playoffs, he shined — leading the team in even-strength scoring and netting the clinching goals against Tampa Bay and Buffalo. For a young, struggling Canadiens roster, his clutch playoff performance was vital. Overall, a solid but flawed season — a B-minus for a player showing real potential.
