The Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 3-2 in Game 6. Matt Niskanen was suspended so Shayne Gostisbehere joined the lineup and he played pretty well! Carter Hart was very strong as the Habs threw a ton of shots on net. The Flyers came out hot and scored two goals five minutes into the game. Once they had the lead, they played a VERY defensive style of hockey and did not pursue a ton of offense. That needs to change moving forward.

The long drought is over. The Flyers went back to the style of play that helped them secure the first three wins and it earned them the all-important fourth one to move on. Here are 5 takeaways from Game 6 of Flyers-Canadiens.

The Philadelphia Flyers lose game five to the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 5-3. Carter Hart let in some soft goals, but I approve Alain Vigneault's decision to play him in the back-to-back. Jakub Voracek played a great game and scored two power-play goals. He finished with three points. Claude Giroux assisted on both of his opportunities. I think the Flyers close out the series in game six.

It's a quick turnaround for the Flyers from their second straight shutout win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday night gives the Flyers the chance to finally get back on the right side of a playoff series result and claim their first playoff series win in over eight years. 

Carter Hart gathers a lot of the headlines as the netminder, but it really is the commitment of the rest of his teammates that has helped the Flyers take a 3-1 series lead on the Montreal Canadiens.

The Philadelphia Flyers win game four of the series against the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 2-0. Michael Raffl sniped Carey Price in the first period and Phil Myers threw a shot on net from a weird angle to score the second goal. The Flyers continue to struggle on the power play. Carter Hart records a shutout, making it two in a row!

Tuesday seemed like just another day at the office for Carter Hart, but it held some historic meaning for the 22-year-old goalie and the Flyers. Here are the 5 takeaways from Game 4 of Flyers-Canadiens.

Carter Hart secured his second straight shutout win, as the Flyers took a 3-1 series lead with a 2-0 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday afternoon.

Oskar Lindblom’s presence alone is a lift for the Flyers. And every time they seem to need added motivation, they see Lindblom. And it works, just like it did for Game 3 against the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Flyers win game three by a score of 1-0. Carter Hart records a shutout saving 23 shots. The Flyers team as a whole blocked 24 shots. The team definitely played better than game two, but there are plenty of negatives. The power-play went 0-6 and are 1-25 total since returning to the bubble. This is abysmal! Their last three power-plays resulted in ZERO SHOTS! That's almost impossible. Two of those opportunities were in the third period when the score was 1-0. How?! How?! How?! How?! Alain Vigneault put Robert Hagg in the lineup along with Michael Raffl. Shayne Gostisbehere and Joel Farabee were healthy scratches. Vigneault wanted to play a more physical game, which they executed. For the only goal, Claude Giroux ripped a shot and it hit off Jakub Voracek in front of the net. It found a way past Carey Price who was hard to crack all night, although it wasn't as if the Flyers had too many opportunities.
