In the final game of a four-game homestand, the Philadelphia Flyers (20-14-6) will take on the Montreal Canadiens (17-17-5) on Wednesday evening. Game time at the Wells Fargo Center is 7:00 p.m. ET.
After this game, the Flyers will have reached the statistical midpoint (Game 41) of their 2023-24 season schedule.
The Flyers enter this game coming off a
4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. The Canadiens come into this tilt with two wins in their last three games, including a 4-3 (1-0) shootout win at home against the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Habs were unable to protect a 3-0 lead but rescued a victory in the shootout.
