| Last game: MTL 3 PHI 5
The Canadiens withstood the Flyers attack in the first period with great goaltending from Carey Price and solid defense from the Tomas Plekanec line. But Claude Giroux and Travis Konecny got the better of them. The Habs penalty-kill had a tough game. For a complete recap: Habs Can’t Defend Philly’s Top Line Players to watch

| What to Expect |
| Prediction: Canadiens 3 Predators 4
The Predators have more depth, and more firepower, as well as the very flamboyant P.K Subban who will want to make a statement. If the Canadiens can capitalize on Subban mistakes, they have a chance at getting the win. |
