Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

I’m on Montreal here. I think the Flyers have a bit of a hangover game here after clinching their playof spot on Monday, while Montreal is headed to Tampa Bay for their first round playoff matchup, I think the Canadiens will want to keep their momentum going as that’s going to be a tough playoff series. Ultimately, I think Montreal gets it done so give me the Canadiens here.
