Seems like one of those runs to me. Dallas was in the Finals last season and missed the playoffs this year.

Might have a little bit to do with missing their top forward for 95% of the season on top of which they got hit hard by covid a couple times which really compacted their schedule. I certainly expect them to rebound next season.
Will Montreal be a "top" team next year? Maybe, maybe not. I will say this though that if they get to the playoffs and are relatively healthy, then they could easily do what they are doing once again.
not sure why people can continue to discount how playing defense first can be just as effective as any other way to play the game. Especially when everyone is pulling in the same direction like the Islanders and Habs have been.
The Bolts are able to do both and thats why they should be winning this thing again.
