Coming off a victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in their last contest, the Philadelphia Flyers looked to make it two in a row and keep their slim playoff chances alive as they faced the Montreal Canadiens.
Carter Hart received the start from Interim Head Coach Scott Gordon and opposed Carey Price in-net. Price was up to his old tricks coming in, posting a 2.57 Goals-Against Average with a .915 save percentage. The 12 year net-minder did struggle in a couple of his previous starts heading into this matchup, and the Flyers needed to take full advantage in order to gain ground in the Wild Card race.
