The 1990–91 Montreal Canadiens season was the Canadiens' 82nd season. The season saw the Montreal Canadiens being eliminated in the Adams Division finals by the Boston Bruins.

Offseason

Co-Captain Chris Chelios was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for Denis Savard, in August 1990. With Chelios' departure, Guy Carbonneau continued as Canadiens captain.

Mats Naslund resumes his playing career in Europe. Veteran forwards Brian Skrudland and Mike McPhee are named alternate captains.

Regular season

In terms of injuries, Patrick Roy missed the most games due to injury during the 90-91 season. Backup goalies Andre Racicot and Jean-Claude Bergeron appeared in 25 games.

The Canadiens finished the regular season as the league's most disciplined team, being short-handed only 282 times.[3]
