A Tale of Two Comebacks
The Flyers started strong, jumping out to a 3-0 lead within the first eight minutes. Bobby Brink and Trevor Zegras led the charge, with Brink deflecting a pass past the Canadiens' goalie, Sam Montembeault. But here's where it gets controversial... the Canadiens fought back with a furious rally in the second period, scoring four goals and taking the lead 4-3. Kirby Dach and Ivan Demidov were the catalysts for this comeback, with Dach's goal off the end boards igniting the surge.
Shootout Drama and a Former Teammate's Return
The game remained tight, with Nikita Grebenkin tying it up midway through the third period. And this is the part most people miss... the game went to a shootout, where Trevor Zegras sealed the deal for the Flyers. Dan Vladar's 16 saves also played a crucial role in the win.
But the story doesn't end there. Christian Dvorak, the Flyers' center, faced his former team for the first time. He had played 232 games over four seasons in Montreal, adding an intriguing layer to this matchup.
