Schiltz now has three of his last four starts in the CFL.
While Evans put the black and gold pads back on, linebacker Simoni Lawrence said he is one of his three defenders not to go to La Belle Province.
Simoni was on his six-game injured list for the second time this season.
Montreal's Alouettes, meanwhile, are on a winning streak against the previously undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers, with starter Trevor Harris throwing for his 213 yards.
Three quick facts:
- Hamilton started slowly with his 0-4 but has since drawn on the first point. He recovered within one win. Over the past four years, their record late in the schedule has been at least as good or better. In 2021 they went 4-1 in his last five games, and in his last five games in 2019 he went 5-51.
- The Ticats have three wins for him in 2022, all against key eastern rivals. They are 0-5 against the West, tied with Ottawa. This week is the fourth of his six-game streak against East Division clubs.
- Montreal's record is 3-6, but he has avoided a three-game losing streak throughout the year. Throughout 2022, they have gone from his two losses to wins and have continued that trend consistently over the last week.
