The Habs played well on the road game but failed to really test the Flyers third-string goalie. Jakub Voracek took over the game, tying it in the dying minutes and scoring the overtime winner as well.

For a complete recap: Habs Finding Ways to Lose

Players to watch

• Rick Nash
  Nash is on his way out of New York as the Rangers have committed to a rebuild. Nash is a hot commodity and will likely be one of the marquee trades at this deadline.
• Charlie Lindgren
  Lindgren could get the start in goal for Montreal after being recalled on an emergency basis from Laval. Carey Price is being evaluated after taking a shot to the mask against Philadelphia.
• Michael Grabner
  Grabner is one of the fastest players in the league and could be another Ranger with a new home after the trade deadline.

Keys to Victory

• Create turnovers on the forecheck
  The Canadiens need to apply more pressure on the forecheck to create turnovers and make it harder for teams to breakout of their zone.
• Execute zone entries
  The Habs have have just a few skaters who can carry the puck into the opposition zone but must lean on those skilled players.
• Don’t take penalties
  Montreal’s penalty kill is a mess. Until it can be improved, the Canadiens have to minimize penalties.
