Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens head-to-head record
The Philadelphia Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens have met five times recently, and the Canadiens have won three of those five games. Their most recent meeting, on September 24, 2024, was a comfortable 5-0 win. Before that, the Canadiens beat the Flyers 9–3 on the 10th of April 2024 and again beat the Flyers 4–1 on March 29, 2024. Between these dates, Philadelphia won two games, both by a close 3-2 score. The first win was on the 11th of January 2024, and the second was on the 29th of March 2023. Since Montreal has been very good on offense lately and Philadelphia has been having a tough time at home and overall, Montreal looks like they will keep their winning streak going. But if Philadelphia can use their good penalty kill to their advantage and keep Montreal's leading scorers like Cole Caufield in check, they might be able to keep the game tighter than in recent games.
