Who have been the standout skaters for the Flyers so far?

The Flyers have taken a 2-1 series lead against the Montreal Canadiens thanks to some sturdy in-zone defense and some key saves from Carter Hart. Though the Flyers managed to win yesterday, they did a poor job of controlling the puck and lost the possession battle to the Canadiens for what essentially amounted to the entire game. The Corsi-For percentage numbers ended up 56.96% to 43.04% in favor of Montreal, which is a fairly significant split given how much of a theoretical advantage the Flyers have in terms of skaters who are known to drive play and control the puck.
