The Flyers take on the Montreal Canadiens tonight in what should be an exciting and pivotal second game in their best of seven series. By now, we’ve had enough time to properly sit back and analyze the Flyers’ performance in the series opener, and the statistics back up what I and many others observed from the pure eye test. It was a very close game with swings in momentum as Canadiens tried to hustle and harass the Flyers into making mistakes, which to their credit, the Canadiens were able to do somewhat. This game could have gone very differently had it not been for a key slip on the part of Artturi Lehkonen, and of course, for some key saves from Carter Hart.
Bend don’t break: winning while not at their best has been the Flyers’ success
