The Canadiens have dropped off offensively. In fact if not from the outstanding goaltending of Wilf Nestor we would be in worse shape then we are. During the free agency season, we signed a few undrafted young free agents to bolster our depth, time to see what they can do.
| Goalies | Age | Wins | Losses | T/OL | SO | GAA | SV% |
| Nestor, Wilf | 27 | 8 | 7 | 0 | 2 | 1.88 | 0.938 |
| Janku, Marcel | 31 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 4.93 | 0.865 |
Wilf Nestor has been our MVP once again. Our back up had definitely struggled. So we are going to send him to the AHL and promote G
Stefan Mertel. Mertel is 28 years old and has 2 wins with a 2.72 GAA and .895 save % in 4 AHL games.

| Breuer, Oscar | 29 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 6 | -1 |
| Magnusson, Harvey | 33 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 6 | -7 |
Not a alot of offense from this group, but that is spread right across the team. We knew we were going to have some big changes at the forward positions, but defense was pretty stable from last season. Time to install some young. RD
Harry Magnusson gets demoted to the AHL. RD
Tomas Badura gets promoted to Montreal. The 19 year old has 3 goals and 10 points in 17 AHL games.

| Brueggeman, Cory | 19 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
There has been alot of changes to the forwards, already due to minor injuries we have promoted
Robert Hendriksson and
Cory Brueggeman. Hendriksson had 7 goals and 17 points in 12 AHL games before coming up. Brueggeman had 8 goals and 20 points in 16 AHL games. Montreal is going to demote RW
Aleksi Hynynen and
Juan Soto to the AHL. We will promote 19 year old
Ben Archer, he has 9 goals and 17 points in 14 AHL games. We will also promote 19 year old
Jakob Axelsson, he has 3 goals and 9 points in 17 AHL games.
