Danny Briere News
The Avalanche acquired Daniel Briere from the Habs in exchange for P.A Parenteau and a 2015 fifth-round pick.

Briere, 36, scored 13 goals with 12 assists (25 points) in 69 games with Montreal. He found himself relegated to the fourth-line for much of the season and playoffs. The trade adds an experienced forward to a young and up-and-coming team. Briere will be entering his final year of a two-year $8 million dollar deal.

Briere in; Ryan White out.

Briere is centring the Habs fourth line in the morning skate which suggests he will play tonight after being a healthy scratch in the last two games. Briere has been a big disappointment for Montreal this season, he has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 29 games while averaging just 12:38 TOI.

Ryan White will replace Daniel Briere in the lineup against St. Louis.

Briere will serve as a healthy scratch tonight for the first time since coming to the Canadiens. It has been a struggle for the 36-year-old veteran this season. He has recorded five goals and five assists in 26 games. In his last contest he saw what is likely a career-low 4:27 TOI. You have to consider Briere's contract to be a massive disappointment at this point.

Briere (concussion) returns to the Canadiens lineup tonight.

Briere has missed the Habs last 10 games after being injured on October 19 vs. Nashville. After the worst season of his career in 2012-13, Briere has only one goal and two assists in eight games this year. He will play on the third line with Michael Bournival and Rene Bourque.

Briere (concussion) could return tomorrow.

Briere practiced over the weekend in a full-contact capacity. He has been out since October 19 (missed last 10 games) but head coach Michel Therrien said “We hope Daniel Briere can come back tomorrow. We’ll make a decision after morning skate on Tuesday”. Monitor his status tomorrow.

Briere (concussion) skated before the team today for the first time since suffering the injury.

Briere has been out of the Canadiens lineup since October 19 with a concussion. According to TSN this is Briere's third diagnosed concussion, so the Habs will be playing it safe with Briere's return. He had one goal and two assists in eight games before being sidelined.

The Montreal Canadiens appear eager to give Danny Briere every opportunity to prove that he has plenty left in the tank after being bought out by the Philadelphia Flyers this summer. Early on, they’re giving him a look on the first line alongside David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty.

Briere, 35, signed a two-year, $8 million contract with Montreal, so the Canadiens would love to see him put it together after a tough couple seasons.

Canadiens have agreed to a 2-year deal with forward Daniel Brière.

Briere's playmaking ability should help bolster the top six and he should also find himself on the top powerplay unit. However, it's hard to believe that his opportunity with the Habs is better than he had in Philly.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Thursday that they are buying out the final two years of Daniel Briere's contract.

Breire had an up-and-down career with the Flyers but can offer any team scoring depth up the middle or on the wing. Briere will be a worthy late round flier next season.

He skated as a fourth defensive pairing with Tye McGinn Monday and is hoping to be ready for Saturday’s game in Buffalo.

Don't worry, Briere won't be playing D. The Center looks to come back this weekend at a crucial time for the Flyers. While he's struggled this season, there's a chance his injuries are behind him and he could help you in your playoffs.
