Canadiens Win 9 Straight, Try to Tie Record at 10
from NHL.com

With a win Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens can accomplish what two teams in NHL history have previously: Win the first 10 games of a season.

The 9-0-0 Canadiens, who have trailed for a total of 2:57, will go for their 10th straight victory against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena (10 p.m. ET; RDS, CITYM, SNV). Montreal can match the 1993-94 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres.

Each of the Canadiens' nine wins have come in regulation. Behind the world-class goaltending of Carey Price, they have allowed 12 goals. None of them have come in the first period.

"Everybody's going to be talking about a lot of different things over the next couple of days, and that's fine," defenseman P.K. Subban said. "But for our team, it's just about the next game and getting prepared to play our best game."
