Canadiens: In Other News… 0-5, First Win, 21-22 Debut for Rocket, Lions

1. It hasn’t been the easiest start for the Montreal Canadiens over their first six games of the 2021-22 NHL season. After putting up a solid fight in a 2-1 opening night loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, things snowballed quickly in 5 and 3-1 outings against the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers. After going five games without a regulation win or OT loss, the Habs finally managed their first notch in the win column with an impressive 6-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.

With veteran leaders in Carey Price and Shea Weber both out for the foreseeable future, the Habs are far from done searching for answers, as they look to build upon an immensely successful run to the Stanley Cup Finals in the 2021 playoffs, yet things seem a bit brighter after a much-needed win.  Leading on from that, a number of developments have come out of the organization aside from the 1-5 start, both for the parent club and it’s affiliates.

As such, the Canadiens should have their work cut out for them in the leadup to their seventh match of the season, versus the Expansion Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.  With a lot to catch up on and even more to delve into further, here’s a look at an early season recap of what’s been going on recently, in other news… for the Montreal Canadiens.
