Montreal Canadiens Atop NHL, But Have Holes To Fill

The Montreal Canadiens are the number one team in the National Hockey League standings. They have started the year with a 10-1-1 record. The Habs currently have a three point cushion on the second best team in the league.

The Canadiens are fortunate to have the best player in the league in Carey Price. Price won every award imaginable two seasons ago and carried the Habs to the top of the standings. He began in that same vein last season, but when he was injured the team completely fell apart.

To show how valuable he is to the team, they were the best team in the league before his injury and the worst team in the league after the injury.
