Top-Scoring American Players With The Montreal Canadiens

Since it’s the Fourth of July and the United States of America’s 250th birthday, it feels like the ideal moment to look at the highest-scoring Americans with the Montreal Canadiens. In the Habs’ 117 years of existence, there have been many great players, but most of them, in terms of scoring, were Canadians. In fact, there’s only one non-Canadian-born player in the Sainte-Flanelle’s top 10 scorers: Finnish center Saku Koivu, who has 641 points. Sweden-born Mats Naslund is in 12th place with 623 points, just in front of Czech pivot Tomas Plekanec, who’s on 606 points. Russian blueliner Andrei Markov claims the 18th spot with 572 points, followed by another 12 Canadians before you reach the first American: Max Pacioretty.
