Finishing off the second half of a back-to-back, the Philadelphia Flyers visited the Centre Bell to take on the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers were looking for their fourth straight win and to extend their point streak to six while the Habs wanted to snap a six-game losing skid. Brian Elliott got the nod from Head Coach Alain Vigneault and opposed Keith Kinkaid in-net. Philippe Myers also entered the lineup for Robert Hagg after sitting in the press box on Friday.
Montreal started hot, scoring the game’s first goal just 19 seconds in off of a shot from Joel Armia to take a 1-0 lead.
