5 – Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens opened the season with a shocking performance in a 6-5 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. They then won their home-opener vs. the Chicago Blackhawks, so there have been some good vibes early on for the Habs.

4 – Detroit Red Wings

With nine goals for, the Wings sit at eighth in the league, but the eight goals against may foreshadow a cause for concern.

3 – Ottawa Senators
