Game Recap: Canadiens vs. Flyers
The Canadiens hoped to extend a potential five-game winning streak but instead delivered what many called their worst game of the season on Tuesday night. They conceded three goals in the first period against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Samuel Montembeault, the goalie from Becancour, faced six shots early and allowed three goals. However, he then made 35 saves on the next 36 shots, including several spectacular stops that helped Montreal regain momentum.
Team Efforts
- Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov played actively
- Support came from Juraj Slafkovský, Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Kirby Dach
Montreal managed to lead going into the final period. Unfortunately, due to their poor start, one misfortune allowed Nikita Grebenkin to tie the game with his first NHL goal. The Flyers clinched the shootout victory by earning the extra point.
"All good things must come to an end, although the Canadiens probably would have hoped for a more memorable event than what transpired on Tuesday night."
