2025 Fantasy Outlook
After joining the Canadiens in April from the KHL, Demidov notched one goal and an assist in his NHL debut versus Chicago. However, he didn't find the scoresheet in his second regular-season outing. During Montreal's first-round playoff series against Washington, he earned two assists in Game 4, but he was held off the scoresheet in the other four contests. Still, the 19-year-old forward has tremendous upside going into his rookie season and is a top contender for the Calder Trophy. He should be a factor on the top power-play unit and see time in Montreal's top-nine forward group at even strength. Demidov has 60-point upside in the 2025-26 campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Prospect
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens in April of 2025.
Not playing Saturday
Demidov (wrist) won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against Ottawa, per Patrick Friolet of RDS.
ANALYSIS
Demidov participated in Saturday's morning skate, and he is trending in the right direction to be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Toronto. Alex Newhook and Oliver Kapanen won't play in Saturday's exhibition game, either, and they are projected to be Demidov's linemates going into the 2025-26 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May have avoided serious injury
Demidov probably avoided a long-term injury to his wrist after getting slashed during Tuesday's preseason clash with Ottawa, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Demidov enters the 2025-26 season as the favorite to take home the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie. A lengthy injury absence not only would have impacted the Habs' early-season results but also could have opened the door for somebody else to take home that title. Despite being just 19 years of age, Demidov is projected to challenge for the 30-goal mark this year.
