Things are going well for the Canadiens this year.

Currently, no one has more points than the Canadiens’ 16 since the start of the regular season. It’s a nice surprise for fans of the club, though.

Sometimes, when a club turns the corner on rebuilding, it does so quickly. The Habs seem to be a good example of this.

But in reality, it goes further than that. And why is that? Because since the break from the Four Nations Confrontation, the club has been on fire.

To what extent?

As Denis Gauthier told L’Antichambre, since the end of the tournament in Montreal and Boston, the Canadiens are the second-best team in the NHL in terms of points percentage.

The #1 team? Vegas.

In 37 (regular-season) games since then, the club has 23 wins and 14 losses, including six in overtime . The points percentage is therefore 70.3.

Dominique Ducharme’s Golden Knights are at 73.6%.

The 37-game sample is starting to look pretty significant. It’s not as if it’s only been two weeks since the action resumed following the February tournament.

However, I’m keeping in mind that all 37 games took place at high-intensity times. Martin St-Louis’ players have been in playoff mode since February… and right now, there’s the buzz of getting back into the game.

However, the trip out West, under difficult conditions and without Kaiden Guhle, gives the prospects hope that the Habs will do well in some of the less easy or challenging phases of the calendar.

In short, things are looking up for the Canadiens.
