The 2010–11 Montreal Canadiens season is their 101st season of play and 93rd in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Off-season
In a trade that surprised many, the Canadiens traded Jaroslav Halak to the St. Louis Blues for two prospects. The trade was attributed to the fact that Halak, along with Carey Price, was to become a restricted free agent. The Canadiens did not want pay two goalies the salary of a 'number one' goalkeeper. To replace Halak, the Canadiens signed free agent Alex Auld.
Regular season
The Canadiens will open the season with a road game against long-time rival Toronto Maple Leafs on October 7. The home opener will be on October 13 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Playoffs
The Canadiens will attempt to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993. Their 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs run was their most successful since their '93 Stanley Cup, going to the Eastern Conference Final, but losing to the Philadelphia Flyers in 5 games.
