The Montreal Canadiens have scored a power-play goal in four straight games. Where does this streak rank in franchise history?
After a dismal 2023-24 season on the power play, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis took over running the special teams unit, and the team didn't register a single power play in the pre-season.
However, when the regular season started, the Canadiens flipped a switch and have now lit the lamp on the man advantage once in every game.
Heading into Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Kings, the 2024-25 Canadiens have a chance to keep climbing the record book for most consecutive games with a power play to begin the season.
This year's team ranks sixth all-time, tied with the teams from 2019, 1997, 1987, 1965, 1957, and 1939 with four straight games.

Historically, those 1974 Canadiens rank 23rd all-time for the longest streak of power-play goals to start the regular season, tied with eight other teams with nine games.
During their run that season, Montreal tallied 14 power-play goals en route to a franchise record 92, which ranks 49th all-time in NHL history.
Interestingly, the NHL record stands at 18 goals, set by the 1984 Buffalo Sabres and duplicated by the 1987 Quebec Nordiques.
