Excerpt from SI.com power rankings:
4. Montreal Canadiens (8-2-2)
The Habs came up short against the Blue Jackets on Friday, their first loss in Ohio since a 2-1 setback against the Cleveland Barons on Nov. 23, 1977. Yeah, I know. Some stats sound more remarkable then they actually are, as the Habs had beaten the Jackets in their only two previous trips. Of course. I’m sure Canadiens fans are more concerned about Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the rival Leafs.
