Montreal Canadiens have achieved another significant accomplishment this season by earning two straight playoff berths – something not achieved since 2008. Confirmation came after Detroit Red Wings fell 5-4 to Minnesota Wild and established that Montreal were first Canadian team in this year’s playoff hunt.
Previous year, Montreal narrowly qualified for the playoffs by winning their Eastern Conference standing but were eliminated quickly by Washington Capitals in five games in round one of playoff play. But this season has brought greater stability and resolve from Canadiens players as they battle hard in pursuit of playoff glory.
As they prepare to face New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night, Montreal Canadiens stand in second place within Atlantic Division and on an eight-game win streak, including five away victories that demonstrate their ability to succeed under difficult conditions away from home.
