Habs Fall apart on Price, lose 3-2 to Flyers
The Montreal Canadiens came out strong on Monday night. Unfortunately it lasted just 20 minutes.
Down 2-0 to the visiting team, the Philadelphia Flyers dominated the Candadiens in the final two periods for a 3-2 win.
The loss cannot be blamed on Carey Price, who faced 45 shots on the night, notably in the second period, where the Flyers outshot the Canadiens 21-5 in the second period.
Ville Leino, Claude Giroux and James van Riemsdyk scored for Philadelphia
Maxim Lapierre had the two goals for Montreal.
