Flyers vs Canadiens Prediction 

Montreal comes into this matchup looking to snap their three-game losing streak, but they are still hanging onto the last wild card spot in the East. The Canadiens are 15-16-4 on the road this year, while the Flyers are 16-19-1 at home. Philadelphia has lost 11 of their last 12 games, and they have scored two goals or fewer in nine of those losses. I know Montreal is struggling right now, and their goaltending isn’t the best, but this Philadelphia team cannot score consistently. I think we will see a lower scoring game here, but I like Montreal to pick up a huge road victory in this game.
