Flyers Seek Redemption Against Canadiens at Bell Centre

As the Philadelphia Flyers gear up to face the Montreal Canadiens, fans are eager to see if their team can turn around recent performances. The Flyers have had a challenging stretch, with their last three games reflecting a mix of close calls and tough losses. In their most recent encounter against the New York Islanders, they suffered an overtime loss despite scoring three goals and showcasing resilience throughout regular play.

The Flyers' powerplay has been underwhelming lately, failing to capitalize on opportunities in both of their previous games. Their shooting percentage has been modest at best, with only nine percent against the Islanders and a mere three percent in a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. However, it's worth noting that they've maintained a strong faceoff win percentage above fifty percent in all but one of these matchups.


Defensively, there's room for improvement as well; they allowed four goals at even strength during their last game against the Islanders. Goaltending remains solid though – despite losses, save percentages have consistently hit 100 percent across different strengths (evenstrength, powerplay).

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption as they revisit Bell Centre – where they previously lost to the Canadiens who managed an impressive twenty-four percent shooting efficiency. The Flyers will need to tighten up defensively while finding ways to ignite their offense if they hope for success on enemy ice.


Fans can catch this anticipated rematch on April 9th at 7:00 PM ET at Bell Centre in Montreal. Broadcasts will be available through ESPN+ online and NBCS-PH+ on TV for those cheering from afar.
