Coming off the best season of his career, Montreal's Sam Montembeault could give the Red Wings problems this season.
After being a playoff team last season, the Montreal Canadiens have gotten better heading into the 2025-26 season. The Habs took took a big step forward earlier this summer with the addition of star defenseman Noah Dobson.
With a young, well-rounded forward group consisting of Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Patrik Laine, along with the addition of Dobson to a D-core that also features reigning Calder winner Lane Hutson, Montreal is quickly becoming a problem.
