Let’s turn back the clocks and the calendars to September of 2017. The Montreal Canadiens, as well as the other 30 teams in the NHL, were getting ready for the preseason to start the year off. However, loss after loss came for the Habs as they went without a win in their first six games. To make matters worse, the team struggled to put up goals getting outscored 25-9 in that time frame.
It was okay though, why? Because it was just the preseason. The Montreal Canadiens struck twice in the win column including the 9-2 thrashing handed to the Ottawa Senators.
