LAST SEASON The Montreal Canadiens entered the 2025-2026 season with high hopes. After missing three straight playoff appearances, the team registered 40 wins for the first time since 2018-19 in 2024-25. They ultimately lost in the first round against the Washington Capitals but it was still a very positive sign of the future for a team with a proud history.
