      Matheson (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Vegas on Monday.

      Matheson left the Canadiens' previous game vs. Winnipeg after 16:15 TOI due to a lower-body injury and was a game-time decision on Monday vs. Vegas after practicing earlier in the day. The 29-year-old veteran defenseman is having a strong start to 2023-24 as he has two goals, four assists, 22 SOG, six PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in eight games.

      Michael Matheson will return to the Canadiens' lineup Monday vs. Winnipeg (lower body).

      Matheson hasn't played since Dec. 17th due to a lower-body injury but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as they take on the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old was enjoying a solid start to the season prior to being shortened by injuries, with one goal, five assists, and 24 SOG through 10 games played.

      The Canadiens have acquired Mike Matheson and a 2023 4th round pick from the Penguins for Jeff Petry and Ryan Poehling.

      Matheson is coming off of a career-year, posting career-bests in goals (11), assists (20) and points (31) in 74 games with the Penguins. Matheson averaged 18:44 TOI/gm in two years with the Penguins butu could take on a larger role in Montreal, where there is not many experienced NHL defensemen.

      The Penguins have acquired Mike Matheson and Colton Sceviour from the Panthers in exchange for Patric Hornqvist.

      Matheson has a massive contract, with six years left at $4.875M but the 26-year-old was brought in to replace Justin Schultz, who is a UFA. Matheson has tremendous mobility for a 6-foot-2 defenseman and heads to Pittsburgh with at least eight goals and 20 points in three consecutive seasons. Matheson fell out of favour in Florida in 2020 but should be a fine second or third pairing defenseman in Pittsburgh.
