The Montreal Canadiens Just Achieved Something Never Seen Before in NHL History
It's no surprise to anyone - the Montreal Canadiens are off to an exceptional start this season and are now making history with a record never before seen.
When you witness an achievement that's never been done before in NHL history - especially considering how long the league has existed - it deserves attention.
The Canadiens' start to the season is simply fascinating.
With a 9-3-0 record after 12 games, Martin St-Louis' squad sits atop the Atlantic Division! I can't remember the last time I could say that!
But beyond the numbers, it's the way this team is winning that stands out.
"The Habs are OFF today but here's a Fun Fact from last night's win: the Canadiens became the 1st team in NHL history to record 5 overtime wins through their first 12 games of a season!"

That's wild! And let's be honest - it makes for great entertainment for the fans.
The Montreal Canadiens make history with five overtime wins
Five of those nine victories have come in overtime. And that detail changes everything, because as Priyanta Emrith and Mathis Therrien from DansLesCoulisses reported, it's a historic first in the NHL.
Never before, in the entire history of the league, had a team won five overtime games in its first 12 of the season.
"It's truly an impressive feat, and it shows just how unique and exciting the Canadiens' start to the season has been." - DLC
The Canadiens never quit. No matter the score or the opponent, the young players always find a way to fight back into the game.
Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Ivan Demidov, and Lane Hutson are incredible in three-on-three situations. The extra space only highlights their speed even more.
"These five overtime wins also tell part of the story of the Canadiens' season so far - a testament to the team's resilience." - Therrien
Another thing I really like is that the Tricolore hasn't been outclassed once this season.
Even their three losses were close, proving this team battles hard every night.
And if they can keep up this pace, Montreal just might become a true force in the East once again.
