It appeared that both the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning were having difficulty ramping up for a new season just three months after their Stanley Cup Final. The team from Florida started the year 2-3-1 without a regulation win, while Montreal lost their first five contests with a total of four goals scored.
