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 Finals, 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. As a result of this, Montreal won the draft lottery to select first overall in the NHL Entry Draft for the first time in 42 years.^[11] The Canadiens also became the first team since the 2002–03 Carolina Hurricanes to finish in last place in the NHL a year after making the Stanley Cup Finals.^[12] With a total of 720 man-games lost, the team likewise set an NHL record for most injuries in a season, which they would subsequently break the following season.^[13]

Notes

The Chicago Blackhawks' third-round pick went to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on July 24, 2021, that sent a third-round pick in 2022 to Montreal in exchange for this pick.^[166]
Montreal previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on June 30, 2019, that sent Andrew Shaw and a seventh-round pick in 2021 to Chicago in exchange for second and seventh-round picks both in 2020 and this pick.^[167]
The Vegas Golden Knights' fourth-round pick went to the Tampa Bay Lightning as the result of a trade on July 24, 2021, that sent a fourth-round pick in 2022 to Montreal in exchange for this pick.^[166]
Montreal previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on February 24, 2020, that sent Nick Cousins to Vegas in exchange for this pick.^[168]
The St. Louis Blues' seventh-round pick went to the Montreal Canadiens as the result of a trade on July 24, 2021, that sent a seventh-round pick in 2021 to Arizona in exchange for this pick.
Arizona previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on July 22, 2021, that sent future considerations to Philadelphia in exchange for Shayne Gostisbehere, a second-round pick in 2022, and this pick.^[169]

Philadelphia previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on April 12, 2021, that sent Erik Gustafsson to Montreal in exchange for this pick.^[170]

The Arizona Coyotes will receive the better of Montreal's own first-round pick in 2022 and Carolina's first-round pick in 2022 (previously acquired by Montreal). However, in the event that either or both of Montreal's own first-round pick and/or Carolina's first-round pick are top 10 picks (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' first-round pick in 2022 is a top 10 pick, Montreal will instead receive their 2023 first-round pick along with a 2024 fourth-round pick – was not converted when the Flames qualified for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs on April 16, 2022.
Montreal will retain 50% of Chiarot's salary for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.

The New York Rangers' fourth-round pick went to the Montreal Canadiens as the result of a trade on March 16, 2022, that sent Ben Chiarot to Florida in exchange for Ty Smilanic, a conditional first-round pick in 2023 and this pick being conditional at the time of the trade).^[174] The condition – Montreal will receive the lowest of the Rangers' or Jets' fourth-round pick in 2022.^[175]^[174] – was converted when the Rangers clinched a spot in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs on April 9, 2022, and when the Jets were eliminated from the playoffs on April 20, 2022.
Florida previously acquired this pick as the result of a trade on March 16, 2022, that sent Frank Vatrano to New York in exchange for this conditional pick.^[176]
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 Finals, the pick will instead become a 2nd-round selection in 2023 – was not converted following the Oilers' playoff elimination versus the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference final on June 6, 2022.
