In normal five-on-five settings, Ylonen skates on the fourth line. |

Ylonen's pass was deflected by linemate Michael Pezzetta onto Struble's stick for the finish.

Ylonen had one shot on net and scored the winning tally in the shootout of Friday's 3-2 win over San Jose. - Ylonen had just 7:16 of ice time and barley played in the third period -- two shifts, 1:13 TOI -- before the fourth-line forward ended matters with a beautiful deke of Mackenzie Blackwood.

Ylonen scored twice Thursday in a 6-5 loss to Vegas. - Ylonen did a lot with 7:22 of ice time -- he wired four shots and laid one hit, and showed off his quick hands and great release on both snipes. His first was especially sharp -- he fired a wrist shot that beat Adin Hill glove side on a second-period breakaway. Ylonen is a young speedster whose ice time has dropped below 10 minutes a night after he sat in the press box early in November. He has potential, but right now, he's not getting the right ice to show off his skills. |

Ylonen scored a goal on one shot and blocked a shot over 11:01 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to Toronto. - Montreal's fourth line was responsible for two of the team's five goals and showed an opportunistic flair in doing so. Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren misfired on an attempted clear, and Rafael Harvey-Pinard pounced on the loose puck. He fed Ylonen for the Canadiens' final score. Earlier in the game, fourth-line center Jake Evans took advantage of a fallen Toronto defender to score on a breakaway. Ylonen showed an offensive flair and skated on the top line at times in 2022-23. That may not repeat itself this season, but both he and Harvey-Pinard made an impression on head coach Martin St. Louis during their first significant taste of the NHL last season. |

The 23-year-old forward has helped Montreal survive the loss of several forwards to injury.

Ylonen (Illness) scored a goal and assisted on another in Saturday's 8-2 win over Columbus. He added four shots over 11:17 of ice time. - Ylonen returned from a two-game absence due to illness and picked up his fourth goal and fifth point over the last five contests. As the Canadiens continue to deal with injured forwards -- Josh Anderson (ankle) went down this week -- while welcoming others back -- Brendan Gallagher and Jake Evans returned -- it looks like Ylonen has a place on the roster for the rest of the season. He has six goals and eight assists over 30 gaems. All six tallies have come in the past 14 games during which Ylonen has an unsustainable 31.6 shooting percentage. |

Ylonen posted an assist in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights. - Ylonen is providing solid middle-six offense lately with two goals and five helpers over his last 11 contests. He's added just 11 shots on net in that span, which suggests that offense is a bit unsustainable until he can start generating more chances. Ylonen replaced Denis Gurianov on the top line midway through the second period; minutes with Nick Suzuki are the reward for good play. The 23-year-old is up to nine points, 25 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 22 outings overall. With the Canadiens still battling numerous injuries throughout the lineup, he has significant job security until some forwards return. |

Ylonen scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. - This was Ylonen's second goal in three contests, and it was also the first game-winner of his career. He struck midway through the third period on a pass from Rem Pitlick. Ylonen is up to eight points, 21 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 19 outings this season. The 23-year-old will likely continue to log third-line minutes while the Canadiens have a number of forwards out with injuries. |

Ylonen was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday. - Ylonen has produced two assists and a minus-4 rating through 10 contests this season.

Ylonen had an assist, two shots on goal and two hits over 14:52 of ice time in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Florida. - Ylonen opened the game on the top line -- the second consecutive game for the rookie -- but was dropped to the second line during the second period, when the Panthers scored five goals (four on the power play). He provided assistance on Josh Anderson's tally, his second assist in five games since being called up. With so many injuries hitting Montreal all at once, Ylonen could remain in a top-six role. |
None |
| Jan. 18, 2023 |
Ylonen had two shots on goal over 17:30 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets. - Ylonen was moved to the first line in the wake of three forwards being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Montreal also made Jonathan Drouin (undisclosed) inactive for the game. All of that means more playing time, and perhaps an expanded role, for Ylonen. The Canadiens are intrigued by his offensive potential, and Ylonen could get an extended run with top-liners Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, the most productive scorers on the team. |
None |
| Jan. 15, 2023 |
Ylonen had one hit and two blocked shots over 12:34 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders. - Ylonen opened the game on the fourth, but he took shifts with the top line after Jake Evans departed with a lower-body injury. The injury forced adjustments, which included Kirby Dach dropped from the first-line winger to second-line center, while Ylonen and fellow fourth-liner Jonathan Drouin rotated on the elite line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This was Ylonen's second game with the team since being called up earlier in the week, and he was given over four minutes more of TOI. The Canadiens are intrigued by his offensive potential, but it's unclear if Ylonen will be part of the top line when the Habs face the Rangers on Sunday, a 5:00 PM ET start. |

Ylonen had an assist and one shot on goal over 8:21 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators. - Ylonen was called up earlier in the day from AHL Laval and took a spot on the fourth line. He was second on the Rocket with 27 points in 34 games this season prior to his callup. He showed off that offense with a deft pass to set up Kirby Dach for Montreal's second goal, hinting at the potential value he could bring to the Canadiens. He recorded two goals and three assists over 14 games for the Habs in 2021-22, not bad for what was an offensively challenged team. That part of the game works for Ylonen, but it's his performance in the defensive zone that keeps from solidifying a spot on the NHL roster. |

Ylonen was elevated from AHL Laval on Wednesday. - Ylonen has played exclusively in the minors this season, appearing in 34 games for the Rocket in which he notched eight goals and 19 helpers.

Ylonen notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Devils. - With injuries piling up again, Ylonen was recalled from AHL Laval under emergency conditions and immediately entered the lineup. He made an impact right away, setting up a Josh Anderson tally in the second period. Ylonen has three points, eight shots on net and a plus-3 rating through eight appearances this season. The 22-year-old will likely head back to Laval once the Canadiens get some players back from injury. |

Ylonen had an assist, one shot on goal and one hit over 14:44 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Florida. - Ylonen, who skated on the top line with Nick Suzuki and Jonathan Drouin, picked up the primary assist on Montreal's second goal. His shot rebounded to the stick of Suzuki, who had a wide-open net. It was young forward's second assist since being called up from AHL Laval seven games ago. It's unclear what Montreal's plan for Ylonen is going forward. The team's next four games have been postponed, and the Canadiens don't return to action until Jan. 12 in Boston. By then, several players should be reinstated from the COVID-19 protocols list. |

Ylonen scored a goal on four shots and registered a hit in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh. - Ylonen one-timed a feed from Jonathan Drouin to score his first NHL goal with three seconds left in the second period. The marker closed the deficit to 3-2 and seemingly gave Montreal momentum entering the final period, but the boost was ephemeral when the Penguins scored 28 seconds into the final stanza. Ylonen, who is up from the AHL while the Habs deal with a long list of injuries, was moved up to the second line for the game. After the 23-year-old forward registered one shot over his first two games, the four shots Tuesday suggest he's reaching a comfort level with the more games played. |
