The first week of the season for the Habs was not one to remember as their offence was basically non-existent in all three games, resulting in three straight regulation losses to kick off the 2021-22 campaign.
Laval’s fifth season is set to get underway on Friday night as they return to the North Division and a normal travel schedule after winning a pandemic-formed Canadian Division last season. That’s just one of many changes heading into the 2021-22 season.

After a wild 2020-21 season and an offseason that had many twists and turns, the 2021-22 season is upon us. Will the Habs make it back to the playoffs? Our writers make their predictions.
