Canadiens Scoring at an Impressive Rate so Far
November 17th, 2018 If there is one thing the Montreal Canadiens can do in the early part of the season, it's score goals. The Canadiens sit in the top five in the league for most goals scored at even strength. This is a massive increase from last year, when they finished next to last in scoring at 5-on-5.

They fired their head coach Claude Julien, and one week later, he was back behind the bench and sitting in first place in the division.
