NHL Streak Watch
NHL Streak Watch, Montreal Canadiens's Run Hits 3
Published
Every result in NHL feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
The win-column crowd
Montreal Canadiens have won three straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.
The fine print
At 3 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.
Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.
