The Montreal Canadiens thought their season was finished, but they will return to action next week.
The Montreal Canadiens 2019-20 season was a bit of a roller coaster ride. They started the year well, keeping up with the top teams in the league through the first six weeks of the schedule. Then, they lost eight in a row. They climbed back into the playoff race before once again going on an eight game skid.
A decent stretch in late January and early February gave them one last gasp at possibly catching the Toronto Maple Leafs for third in the Atlantic Division.
