Tonight the Philadelphia Flyers will be in Montreal to take on the Canadiens, who are currently the second-worst team in the NHL by the standings. They have, however, been playing better of late, since the hiring of Martin St. Louis as head coach. At the beginning of the season, under Dominique Ducharme, the Habs were 8-30-7 for 23 points. With St. Louis at the helm Montreal is 12-16-4, good for 28 points in 32 games.
Lately those same struggles have returned for the Canadiens as they are currently in the midst of a six-game losing streak. Their last loss was a 2-0 shutout against the Minnesota Wild.
