The Flyers made a quick trip up to Montreal this evening for the second of their preseason games, getting into the mix just about the rest of their big names who had not yet been able to debut. It was a difficult day on the whole and a choppy game which ensued, and while the Flyers were admirably able to rally part of the way back from the deficit they fell into, they found themselves outmatched in this one, and fell to the Habs by a 4-2 margin.
