Flyers, Canadiens both look for more offense in Game 4

Goals have been hard to come by in the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series between the Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens.

Expect more tight-checking hockey when the teams meet Tuesday afternoon in Toronto for Game 4 of the best-of-seven series.

The Flyers took a 2-1 series lead with a 1-0 victory Sunday night, as Jakub Voracek scored the lone goal on a deflection at 5:21 of the first period and Carter Hart recorded the first playoff shutout of his NHL career, stopping 23 shots.

"We were able to grease it out, and Carter made some big saves," Flyers coach Alain Vigneault said.
