The week kicked off in Montreal with a Canadiens home game against the St. Louis Blues. The Bell Centre crowd cheered loudly and emphatically applauded for Carey Price as he was awarded the Molson Cup for the month of October during the pre-game proceedings. Unfortunately for the fans and the team, there wasn’t much to celebrate after the puck dropped. Price kept the team in the game with a number of solid saves, but the Habs offense only managed to put numbers on the scoreboard in the second period when Rene Bourque and Michael Bournival each potted a goal. It was , however, enough to continue the game past regulation and into a shootout, but the only goal scored in the shootout would be by T.J. Oshie. Final score: Blues, 3-2.

The Canadiens’ lackluster performance continued on Thursday night as they took a short road trip to Ottawa to face the Senators. It was the team’s first meeting against the opponent that knocked them out of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals since last spring’s playoff race, and fans were hoping for a bit of retribution. Andrei Markov kicked things of the right way with a power play goal in the first period but, unfortunately, it would be the only goal scored by the Habs for the entire game. Additionally, an abundance of penalties resulted in the Canadiens being shorthanded much too often. Final score: Senators, 4-1.
