Latest News About Texier

Here are the latest updates I can confirm about Alexandre Texier:

• Texier signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens in late November 2025 after his contract with the St. Louis Blues was terminated. This move gave Montreal added depth as they navigated injuries, and Texier had appeared in eight NHL games with the Blues earlier in the season [source: The Hockey News, 2025-11-22; The Hockey News, 2025-11-21].[1][2]
• By January 2026, Texier was reportedly signing a two-year extension with the Canadiens, worth about $5 million total (avg $2.5 million per season), reflecting a strong late-season turnaround and productive display for Montreal [Sports Illustrated, 2026-01-13].[6]
• There has also been ongoing discussion about Texier’s role with Montreal and potential trade or contract developments around the 2025-26 season, including coverage of his performance and strategic fit for the Canadiens [CBS Sports, 2025-12-23; SI Breakaway, 2026-01-14; Fox Sports, 2026-04-23].[7][9]

Notes:

• The most recent widely reported development is the Canadiens’ two-year extension in January 2026, which solidified his place in Montreal through the 2027-28 season.[6]
• There are various sources with speculative or fan-based content (including YouTube channels) about Texier’s status and potential moves, but the contract extension by Montreal is the verifiable milestone as of early 2026.[3][5][8]

If you’d like, I can pull more precise dates, contract terms, or summarize his point production and icetime that season to date. I can also look for any newer updates beyond April 2026 if you want the latest.
