4. Josh Anderson - 31 Points
Josh Anderson had a ridiculously long dry spell to begin this season of hockey. He entered the 2023-24 season as a potential fit on the team's top line or possibly an option to play on the second line with Kirby Dach, but his lack of production quickly became almost unbelievable.
Anderson had just two points, both assists, in his first 23 games of this season. That means he was pretty much shut out in the months of October and November even though he played every game. He was also injured for a little while early in the calendar year, missing 11 games, which is about a month's worth of action.
Still, even though he missed a month and didn't get any points in two others, he is the third highest point producer on the Canadiens in 2023. A hot streak nearing the end of the year catapulted him ahead of a few others and close to the top of this list.
Anderson finished the year off with a total of 31 points in 70 games played. He is a tremendously streaky player and had some of the lowest of lows a player can imagine in the year 2023. He is locked in on a long term deal with a nice cap hit but must have been incredibly frustrated for the first two months of this season as he could not find the back of the net at all and only had an assist per month.
Yet, he is the third highest point producer on the Canadiens in 2023.
