The Flyers are north of the border tonight for their first game against an Atlantic Division team on the new season, visiting the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre.
Coming off of Saturday night’s tumultuous win against the Carolina Hurricanes, Steve Mason will again get the nod in net. Yeah, remember when you freaked out because he didn’t start the season opener? He’s coming off a performance in which he arguably won the game for the Flyers vs. Carolina, and with another strong one tonight he’ll clearly take the lead as at least the team’s 1A goalie.
The Flyers certainly didn’t dominate the game in terms of puck control the other night, and that had another miserable first period in which they fell behind — something that’s been a staple in all five games for this team so far.
