Friday, the Habs took the top spotas favourites overall to win the Stanley cup in 2016.

The team currently finds themselves ranked ahead of 2015's champion, the Chicago Blackhawks, as well as other strong contenders like the Tampa Bay Lightning, the New York Rangers and the Dallas Stars, to round off the top 5 hopefuls to take the cup.
