THE REGULAR SEASON
In 1919-20, for the first time in three years, the NHL ended a season with as many teams in the spring as had started out the previous fall. The addition of a new Toronto franchise, the St. Patricks, and the activation of the Quebec Bulldogs charter brought the league up to four teams.The Montreal Canadiens once again were rendered homeless by a fire which destroyed the Jubilee Rink and forced the team to open the season on the road while the finishing touches were put on the Mount Royal Arena, their new home. Opening night fans were rewarded for their patience as captain and coach Newsy Lalonde had his way with the visiting St. Pats, scoring six times in a 14-7 win.
Lalonde led a team that was centered on offense at the expense of defense. Six Canadiens reached double figures in 1919-20, with the captain’s 37 goals leading the way. Amos Arbour, who appeared in a single game the previous year, notched 22 and Odie Cleghorn rounded out the team’s trio of 20-goal scorers.
Joe Malone, back with the Bulldogs, led the league in scoring trailed by Lalonde, as the Canadiens, 8-4 in the early going, continued their practice of a strong start that resulted in a second place finish in the first half.
Closing out the second half of the season in third place, the Canadiens overall record of 13-11 was second-best in the NHL. Unfortunately the Senators won both halves of the split schedule, eliminating any need for an NHL playoff.
Ottawa went on to host and defeat the Seattle Metropolitans in the Stanley Cup Finals.
