Alexandre Texier News

Texier has been productive since joining the Canadiens earlier this season, scoring 16 points (7G / 9A) in 27 games, but he will not play on Tuesday because of a lower-body injury. Kirby Dach (fractured foot) is returning to the lineup from a multi-week absence and will fill in as Texier's replacement.

Texier had his contract terminated by the St. Louis Blues earlier this season and immediately signed with the Canadiens, where he has impressed and earned himself a two-year extension. The 26-year-old French-born forward has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 25 games with Montreal this season.

Texier has not played since November 6th, and was finally placed on waivers last week by the St. Louis Blues. The 26-year-old Texier has one assist while averaging 10:15 time-on-ice through eight games this season. Jared Davidson will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Texier's Canadiens' debut.

Texier has not played since November 6th, was placed on the designated non-roster list, and ultimately placed on waivers on Thursday. The 26-year-old Texier has one assist while averaging 10:15 time-on-ice through eight games this season. He will report to the Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL).

Texier has not played since November 6th and has been placed on the designated non-roster list, with Jake Neighbours (lower body) set to return to the lineup. The 26-year-old Texier has one assist while averaging 10:15 time-on-ice through eight games this season.

Texier played 12:23 in Thursday's game in Buffalo, but will be replaced by Jordan Kyrou, who re-enters the lineup tonight. Texier has just one assist in eight games this season.

Jordan Kyrou is expected to be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres, allowing Texier to enter the lineup for the first time since October 28th. The 26-year-old Texier is averaging 9:57 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in seven games this season.

With Robert Thomas (upper body) and Jake Neighbours (undisclosed) ruled out of Monday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Alexey Toropchenko and Alexandrew Texier will draw back into the lineup. The 26-year-old Texier is averaging 8:25 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in five games this season.

With Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) making his season debut on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth, Texier will likely head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Texier is averaging a career-low 8:25 time-on-ice through five games and has one point (0G / 1A).

Mathieu Joseph will draw back into the Blues' lineup on Friday for Game 6, sending Texier to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Texier has on point (0G / 1A) in three games this postseason. He had a -2 plus/minus in Game 5.

Texier will slot in on Thursday as the Blues are opting to dress 12 forwards. Defenceman Ryan Suter will sit in his place.

Texier has not played since March 27th and will remain out of the lineup on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 25-year-old Texier is averaging 12:29 time-on-ice and has 11 points (6G / 5A) in 31 games this season.
