On the high of winning two straight, the Montreal Canadiens looked to continue their winning ways against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday evening. The Habs headed to the City of Brotherly Love, hoping to capitalize on an inconsistent Flyers squad, and put a dent in the Metropolitan team’s playoff hopes.
Special teams got to work early on, as both Montreal and Philadelphia exchanged penalties in the opening minutes of the frame. A holding call went against Tomas Plekanec to put the Flyers on the power play first, but Carey Price turned everything aside during the ensuing 5-on-4 play to keep it a goalless game.
