Fresh off their solid win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens faced another stern task in the suddenly resurgent Philadelphia Flyers. Facing them was Carter Hart, the rookie phenom who bested them in his last start. That loss, however, kicked off an incredible run of form at home for the Canadiens, going 5-0-2 in the confines of the Bell Centre following that loss.
Hart took to his crease opposite his idol, Carey Price, who was locked into his typical form in the win over the Blue Jackets.
