Montreal Canadiens Sink To New Low In Atlantic Division Power Rankings
11-10-6. Previous: 4th. Montreal Canadiens. 6. team. 152.
The Montreal Canadiens started the year playing like a middle of the pack team, then went on a nice run for nine games and have been the worst team in the league for a few weeks now. The past seven days were no reprieve from their recent struggles.
They were annihilated by the Boston Bruins 8-1 to start the week and that appeared to be rock bottom for this team. However, they followed that game up with a 6-4 loss to the New Jersey Devils, a 4-3 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and a 3-1 loss to the Bruins for the second time this week.
Just a couple of weeks ago you could have made an argument that the Canadiens were the second best team in the division and a real threat to the Bruins. That seems laughable now as the Habs have lost eight straight and look like they are headed to the bottom of the standings.
