The Canadiens made some progress in the final 22 games with goals against, shot blocking, hits and PK%. Despite the improvements, they were unable to gain home ice in the 1st round of the playoffs. As well, we could not complete a trade for a shot blocker at the deadline, the prices were too steep.
