Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting.
- The Montreal Canadiens’ forward Alex Newhook has been sidelined with an ankle issue. Reports in late 2023 indicated a high ankle sprain that sidelined him for roughly 10–12 weeks, with status updates continuing to track his recovery in the following seasons.[3]
- In early 2026, there were notes suggesting he might be nearing a return, with discussions about a possible return to play within weeks, though exact dates remained contingent on his rehab progress.[2]
- As of April 2026, regular-season coverage from hockey outlets has continued to monitor Newhook’s status, including performance updates from the Canadiens’ lineup when he’s healthy enough to contribute.[9]
Would you like me to pull the very latest official team injury update or a recent game log for Newhook? I can also summarize his current role with the Canadiens if you’re interested.[2][3][9]
