The 2021–22 Montreal Canadiens season was the 113th for the club that was established on December 4, 1909, and their 105th season as a franchise in the National Hockey League.

The Canadiens were unable to replicate their success from the prior season that saw them reach the Stanley Cup Final, whereas on March 25, 2022, they became the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention following the Washington Capitals' 4-3 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres.^[6]

Ultimately, the Canadiens finished last in the league for the first time since the 1939–40 NHL season and the first time in the NHL's expansion era, in what was one of the worst seasons in the team's history.^[7]^[8]^[9] Collectively, they set team records for most regulation losses (49), most goals against (319), fewest wins^[10] (22), and fewest points^[10] (55), while its .335 point percentage was the team's third-worst ever, after only both the 1925–26 (.319) and 1939–40 (.260) campaigns.

March 21, 2022 (2022-03-21)	To New Jersey Devils Andrew Hammond	To Montreal Canadiens Nate Schnarr	^[147]

Notes:

The Arizona Coyotes will receive the better of Montreal's own 1st-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and Carolina's 1st-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft (previously acquired by Montreal). However, in the event that either or both of Montreal's own 1st-round pick and/or Carolina's 1st-round pick are Top 10 picks in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft (after the final Draft order has been established in accordance with the results of the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery), then Arizona will receive the worse of Montreal's own pick and Carolina's pick.
If the Calgary Flames' 1st-round pick in 2022 is a Top 10 pick, Montreal will instead receive their 2023 1st-round pick along with a 2024 4th-round pick.
Montreal will retain 50% of Chiarot's salary for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
Montreal will retain 50% of Kulak's salary for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
If the Edmonton Oilers reach the 2022 Stanley Cup Final, the pick will instead become a 2nd-round selection in 2023.
Montreal will retain 50% of Lehkonen's salary for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
