Postgame RAV4 (RAV4 Things Revisited)
1. Dvorak line.
The former Montreal forward was on the ice for the Texier goal that gave Montreal a 1-0 lead. However, the team wasted little time tying the game on the next shift and the club rolled the momentum into the second period.
2. Special teams battle.
The Flyers went 0-for-3 on the power play. They were 1-for-1 on the penalty kill.
3. Secondary scoring: Cates and Brink.
Noah Cates and Bobby Brink started the game with a new linemate on Tuesday, skating alongside Matvei Michkov. The change paid a dividend with Brink taking a Michkov feed and giving the Flyers a 3-1 lead to take into the third period.
4. Drysdale pushing the pace.
Facing Lane Hutson and the Canadiens, the Flyers needed Jamie Drysdale to use his speed effectively and help set the pace for Philly. On Tuesday, Drysdale was on the ice for the Texier goal. However, he and partner Andrae bounced back in what was a strong team effort.
