One milestone that has gone under the radar this season is the number of 20 goals scorers on the team.

Since 2010, the Canadiens have had three 20 goals+ scorers on the team only three times.

2010-11: Brian Gionta (29), Tomas Plekanec (22) and Andrei Kostitsyn (20)

2014-15: Max Pacioretty (37), Tomas Plekanec (26), Brendan Gallagher (24) and Alex Galchenyuk (20)

2018-19: Brendan Gallagher (33), Max Domi (28) and Tomas Tatar (25)

This season, the candidates to hit the 20 goal plateau are Nick Suzuki (19), Cole Caufield (18) and Josh Anderson (17). With 10 games left, this is a very attainable goal to reach for all three.

In a season where your team sits tied at 29th in the league in goals for along with the Philadelphia Flyers (187), finishing the year with three 20 goals scorers would represent not just an incredible feat, but a great glimpse of what could be in the future.
