The Montreal Canadiens got off to an uneven start to the 2019-20 season. After a 96 point season a year ago, and minimal changes to the roster over the summer, it was difficult to predict how good this team would be. Well, they have now reached the 20 game mark and all signs are pointing to them being Stanley Cup contenders.
At the quarter pole of the season, the Habs have a record of 11-5-4 which gives them 26 points in 20 games. This has them on pace for a 107 point season which would have them not only in the postseason, but would surely give them home-ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.
