Tuesday night saw the first matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers this season, and it couldn’t have gone any worse for the home side in the opening minutes. Digging themselves a deep three-goal hole inside of the first 10 minutes, they had to fight their way back into the game during the second period, despite playing some of their roughest-looking hockey at even strength.
Thanks to the Habs’ young skill players, and some timely power play goals, they were able to...

Garrett Rank is officiating this game, so brace accordingly.
First period
Despite Montreal spending the opening two shifts in the offensive zone, the first shot of the game goes to the Flyers, and a tip in the high slot from Bobby Brink gets past Samuel Montembeault.
Montreal attempts to do something similar with a pass off Alex Newhook’s stick, but the puck goes off the post.
He did that in the last game as well, so we’ll see what his final word is this evening.

The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them.

The Philadelphia Flyers open up a quick two-game road trip up in Montreal on Tuesday night, and they’re doing so without Tyson Foerster. The Flyers placed the winger on injured reserve prior to Sunday night’s loss to the Calgary Flames.
Without Foerster, Rick Tocchet tried to keep the magic of the Noah Cates line together with Owen Tippett joining Bobby Brink on the wing, but that was short-lived as the lines were thrown into the blender for the third period.

We were a little late getting to the podcast version this month, but myself and Patrik Bexell got together to discuss EOTP’s selections for the players of the month in the Montreal Canadiens system.
Starting at the top, we have Cole Caufield. While this easily could have gone to his linemate Nick Suzuki, or his goaltender Jakub Dobes, there was no denying the brilliance of Caufield in October. We feel that the mere fact Suzuki can be in the top five for NHL scoring and still have another ...

The Montreal Canadiens extended their latest win streak to three games on Saturday night, with a second-straight of the overtime variety against the Ottawa Senators. They had to overcome some adversity once again, tying the game late in the third period to force the extra period before Alex Newhook iced it. As of this writing, they remain at the top of the standings in the Atlantic Division.
There was a lot to discuss from that game; the Habs looking like the better team at five-on-five, ...

I miss Ray Ferraro already.
The crowd is very quiet to begin this game. I guess they don’t know if they’ll be cheering a goal or a fight first.
There also isn’t a whole going on to get excited about yet. The play is sloppy on both sides.
Matheson has a breakout pass go awry, but Samuel Montembeault is there to make the save.
It’s a big save, because moments later Cole Caufield gets a breakaway, and he squeaks the puck through the pads of Linus Ullmark, w...

NHL Player of the Month: Cole Caufield
Montreal’s top line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovský propelled the Canadiens into the playoffs with its play to end last season. They’ve managed to keep that level up to start the 2025-26 campaign, and currently have the Habs among the best teams in the league.
Leading the way on offence is Caufield with nine goals through 11 games, a 67-goal pace over the full 82-game schedule. Three of those goals have come in overtime, mean...
