The Montreal Canadiens are a month into the 2018/19 season, and there have been clear standouts, and early candidates for the team lead in scoring.

We’re a month into the season, and the Montreal Canadiens are far from the team many thought they’d be.

They keep coming and driving and skating leading to some very entertaining hockey. We can talk about the system and defensive structure, but when you win a game in the final minutes of the third, there’s nothing you can do but cheer.

Perhaps clutch victories are going to be the Habs new secret weapon. The Washington Capital game will make it the second time it’s happened this year. Brendan Gallagher started that out after converting on a Colton Parayko turnover in the defensive zone to score with seconds remaining in regulation, and Max Domi took his turn against the Washington Capital with a shot that beat Brayden Holtby.

That could be one interesting conversation, but we’re going to discuss some other things surrounding the team in the latest installment of the A Winning Habit Roundtable.

For starters, can the Habs continue to produce and execute at this pace all season? There won’t be any questions as to whether they make the playoffs or not if they do as it’s been a winning formula early on. Additionally, what do we make of Jordie Benn and who will end up leading the team in scoring?
