The Montreal Canadiens began the season trying to earn the moniker comeback Canadiens. On opening night, they fell behind 2-0 deficit to the Carolina Hurricanes. Two nights later the Habs trailed 4-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Habs fell behind the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 in the third period in their third game of the season.
Somehow, they came out of that opening week with a record of 1-0-2, coming back in all three games to tie it in the third period. Every one of those games went to overtime and the Habs lost a shootout, won a shootout and lost in overtime.
