Game Report

With no margin for error, the Canadiens have bought themselves another game. At this point, each night is a must win. And tonight, it was Montreal’s team leaders who led the way.

Shea Weber and Brendan Gallagher put the only two goals past upstart Carter Hart.  Carey Price did not allow an even strength marker.

In the defensive zone, Weber punished Philly forwards delivering five solid hits. Price constantly frustrated Flyers attackers effectively moving the puck to his teammates who were able to exit the Habs end.

Canadiens nemesis T.J. Luxmore blew another call waiving off an early goal that should have counted. But the Habs persevered notching the game’s opening goal before the first period was over.

Montreal had an advantage in high danger scoring chances, 11-7. In a tightly-played game, Price was solid in stymying Flyers’ shooters.
