The Philadelphia Flyers faced another setback in their season with a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, marking their sixth defeat in nine games. Coach John Tortorella emphasized the need for better teamwork, stating that the Flyers are not playing effectively as five-man units.

Montreal's Mike Matheson acknowledged the team's improvement but cautioned against complacency after their second consecutive win. Despite Travis Sanheim's two goals for Philadelphia, the Flyers struggled to find their rhythm, highlighting a stark contrast to their previous successful season.
