The Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens head into Friday's Game 2 of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series with a sense of confidence.
That might seem more logical for the Flyers, who posted a 2-1 win on Wednesday in the series opener in Toronto.
Philadelphia was outplayed in the second period before Joel Farabee scored the go-ahead goal just 16 seconds after Montreal had forged a tie. The Flyers also reaffirmed a belief in goaltender Carter Hart, who made 27 saves.
"He's a great young goalie, a lot of potential. He's just been a true pro ever since he got here," Philadelphia center Sean Couturier said of Hart, who turned 22 on Thursday.
