The Montreal Canadiens will enter the 2024-25 season with plenty of reason for optimism. They had a great offseason so far, and it could be even better if they make one or two more roster moves. Canadiens fans will see their team plenty in October, as they have seven home games compared to four on the road.

The Canadiens season begins with a trio of rivalry games, with the Maple Leafs and Bruins on back-to-back nights to open the season. They finish the mini-rivalry series by facing the Senators, a team much closer to being their rival over the past few years. The Canadiens hope that season's opening games will make people believe they can contend with teams like Boston and Toronto this season.

The Ottawa game ends the Atlantic Division schedule for October, as they have the rest of their Eastern Conference games against the Metropolitan Division. The Bell Centre will also host three Western Conference teams for their only trip of the season, as the Kings, Blues, and Kraken make the trip East.
