After the Philadelphia Flyers’ abysmal performance against the Montreal Canadiens in Game 2, the Flyers suddenly have a chance to put a stranglehold on the series following a successful bounce-back effort in Game 3. With a win in Game 4, the Flyers could take a 3-1 series lead and sit just one win away from their first playoff series victory since 2012.
While the Flyers do once again hold the series lead, however, they were far from perfect Sunday night. Neither the Flyers or Habs managed to generate much offense in Game 3, as evidenced by the 1-0 score and the 43 combined shots on goal — for reference, the Dallas Stars alone logged 61 shots in their Game 4 tilt against the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
