Montreal Canadiens 2011-2012 Season Preview:
Despite being one of the two teams (other than the LA Kings) to make it to the 2011 NHL playoffs while being at the bottom of the NHL scoring board, the Montreal Canadiens are looking to make another playoff appearance in 2012. If they are to do so, they’re going to need better production from Tomas Plekanec, Brian Gionta and Andrei Kostitsyn, the only players who scored more than 20 goals last season.
Prior to the 2010-11 season, the Canadiens named American Brian Gionta as captain, who led the team to second place in the Northeast Division and sixth in the Eastern Conference, losing in the quarterfinals to 2011 Stanley Cup Champions, the Boston Bruins.
Following their playoff upset, the Canadiens' management signed two new players in hope of adding some stability to the team's lineup: Erik Cole, formerly of the Carolina Hurricanes, as a backup goalie for starter Carey Price, and aggressive Russian defenseman Alexei Yemelin. Whether or not that’s enough to get to get the team back to their championship ways will be one of the exciting plots of the NHL season!
