The 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season was the franchise's 115th season since its establishment on December 4, 1909, and their 107th season (106th season of play) as member of the National Hockey League.

On April 4, 2024, the Canadiens were eliminated from playoff contention for a third consecutive year following a 7–4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning,[3][4] marking the first such drought for the franchise since 1999–2001 and only the third span collectively in the team's history.[5] Similarly, the Canadiens would finish last in their division for the third consecutive season, a first occurrence in team history.[6]

  1. The Canadiens will retain 50% of Edmundson's remaining salary until the end of the current season.
  2. The Canadiens will retain 50% of Petry's yearly salary until the end of the 2024–25 season.

  4. Montreal will receive the Jets' third-round pick in 2027 should Winnipeg win the Stanley Cup this season – was not converted following the Jets' First Round series loss to the Colorado Avalanche on April 30, 2024.[147]
  5. The Canadiens will retain 50% of Allen's yearly salary until the end of the 2024–25 season.
  6. Montreal will receive the Devils' second-round pick in 2025 should Allen play in 40 or more games during the 2024–25 season and if Allen's club at that time (New Jersey or otherwise) qualifies for the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs.
