The 2020-2021 season will see both a divisional and playoff realignment. Could the Montreal Canadiens benefit from this new playoff format?
On Friday night, the NHL and NHLPA reached an agreement on the upcoming season with a Board of Governors call scheduled for the weekend. This tentative agreement would see training camp begin on January 3rd whilst the 56-game regular season would see the Montreal Canadiens return to play ten days later.
