The 2021-2022 edition of the Montreal Canadiens just broke an all-time NHL record

However, it must be mentioned that the numerous injuries and the outbreaks of COVID-19 certainly did not help the Canadiens' cause. The proof is that the team has reached a new unenviable mark.

As reported by Fanadiens.com's Alex Déry, the CH's 2021-2022 edition has officially broken the all-time record for most games missed by injured players in a single season in NHL history with 656 (and counting).

Of course, the absence of Carey Price and Shea Weber, who have not played a game this season, has not helped the cause.

But did you know that another team mark could be reached this season?

A total of 45 players have played at least one game this season with the Habs, the old mark was 46 in the 2000-01 season. And with Carey Price expected to make a return to action this season, he would become the 46th player used by the team this year, meaning the old record will be at least matched.

Just like the 2000-2001 edition, the team is lined up to finish last in its division. The Habs finished the season with a record of 28 wins, 40 losses, 8 ties and 6 overtime losses. However, in the overall standings, the team finished 24th and only got the seventh pick in the draft that year, drafting a certain Mike Komisarek.

Let's hope that the team's first pick in the next draft will have a better career than the American defenseman.
