Game three was an anxiety peaking affair. Though the Philadelphia Flyers are leading the series, 2-1, the Montreal Canadiens could have easily won that game. The only goal scored was a contribution from the Flyers’ first line. Claude Giroux’s shot deflected off the leg of Jakub Voracek for the lone goal. Aside from that, a minimum of five shots on goal by the Canadiens clanked off the goal post.
Neither team could convert a single powerplay. That has been a concern for the Philadelphia Flyers throughout the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. Alain Vigneault substituted Shayne Gostisbehere out of the lineup for Robert Hagg, which paid off.
