Seven different statistics put the Habs on top

It’s a great position for the Habs, but Martin St-Louis’ team’s excellent start to the season doesn’t stop there.

In fact, in addition to the standings, the Canadiens find themselves at the top of the NHL in seven (!!!) different statistics, which are as follows.

1st NHL scorer: Cole Caufield – Habs
2nd NHL passer : Nick Suzuki – CH
2nd NHL passer backs: Hutson – CH
nHL 1st Rookie scorer: Kapanen – CH
1st NHL rookie passer: Demidov – CH
1st NHL scorer rookies: Demidov – CH@TVASports pic.twitter.com/gusxQBbQgb

The 7th statistic is Lane Hutson’s 2nd-highest score among defensemen with 13 points, behind Cale Makar who already has 20.

In fact, the Montreal Canadiens players are at the top of various statistical categories at the start of the season, which is really great to see.

It’s been a very long time since the Habs have had players in the top scorers and other rankings.

We were used to seeing players from every other NHL team, but not from the Habs.

So it’s truly incredible to see Nick Suzuki in 10th place in the NHL scoring charts with his 20 points, just four points behind the leaders, Macklin Celebrini and Nathan MacKinnon.

It’s even more incredible to see Cole Caufield tied with MacKinnon for the NHL’s top scorer, or to see Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen dominate every rookie category.

And I haven’t even mentioned Jakub Dobes, who is in the top-5 for goals-against average at 2.25 and 6th for save percentage among all NHL goaltenders.

In short, the Habs are rolling along at a blistering pace right now, much to everyone’s delight.

Overtime

– Very bad news for the Capitals.

– The Habs have a good defense.

– Whew.
