The Montreal Canadiens are in need of a few traffic cops for the remainder of their series against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Flyers took advantage of the space they were allotted in front of Carey Price in Game 1 of their opening-round-series victory over the Habs on Wednesday, placing men in front of Price in the hopes of getting better chances of scoring.
The Habs’ penalty kill aims to cut down on opposing teams’ shooting lanes, much like we see above. Puck-handlers on the opposing power play are met by a Canadiens player or two who don’t give the attacker much to work with, forcing them to pass to the teammate next to them.
