The Montreal Canadiens missed the playoffs last season by two points. The year before they missed by a wide margin. With this season up in the air, there was little doubt the Habs were going to be on the outside looking in when the playoffs began.
This will only be the third time in the history of the Montreal Canadiens that they would have a three year playoff drought. Their last playoff series was back in 2017, and since the league is on “pause” at the moment, we decided to take a look back on that series between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers.
