The Montreal Canadiens are, as a team, overachieving so far this season. An exciting 6-1 record has the Habs atop the Eastern Conference, and even the most optimistic fans wouldn't have expected this much success early in 2014-15.
It has been a dream start to the season, due in part to some solid individual performances. Carey Price is 5-1 and rounding into form after a shaky start, while P.K. Subban and Max Pacioretty are filling the stat sheets with points.
Those are the Canadiens' superstars, and they're expected to contribute in the ways they have been. But a 6-1 start doesn't happen with just those guys performing as they should.
It takes others playing at a level higher than expected to be a top team in the NHL, and the Canadiens have a lot of guys doing just that so far. And of course, even when a team is playing well, there are always a couple guys who aren't playing at their best.
Let's look at who is overachieving and underperforming for the Montreal Canadiens so far in the 2014-15 season.
