A loser point is little consolation in with the team trailing in the wild card race.
The stage was certainly set for an entertaining contest when the Flyers visited the Bell Centre on Friday night. A media feeding frenzy over the Habs epic tailspin, and a very public spat between head coach Michel Therrien and star defenseman P.K. Subban had most of the spotlight on Montreal. But for Philadelphia, this game was all about taking advantage of a team in disarray to set their own season back on course.
Despite all the pregame drama, there wasn't much energy or crispness in the opening minutes.
