26. Montreal Canadiens (+1)

One day fans may look at Carey Price and say he is one of the best goalies to not even get a chance to play for the Stanley Cup. Injuries have not always been kind to Price, but when he is healthy he keeps Montreal in a lot of games. The issue in Montreal has always been the roster in front of Price. This season is no different. Alex Galchenyuk has never fully developed in Montreal, the trade for Jonathan Drouin has not paid off at all and everyone knows that the trade of PK Subban for Shea Weber was a massive mistake by Marc Bergevin.

The Canadiens have had a week to forget. They lost three of their four games. Their only win came against the Dallas Stars. Montreal dropped games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins and got shut out by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Luckily for Montreal fans, the end is in sight — there are only three weeks left in the regular season. Next week is a busy week for the Canadiens. They kick off the week against the Florida Panthers, then travel south to play the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres before heading home to play the Washington Capitals.
