KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHILADELPHIA: LAST SEASON: 42-26-14, 98 Points. Third in Metropolitan Division.
LOST to Pittsburgh Penguins in first round of Eastern Conference playoffs.
COACH: Dave Hakstol (fourth season, fourth NHL season).
ADDED: F James van Riemsdyk, D Christian Folin.
LOST: F Matt Read, D Brandon Manning.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nolan Patrick. The Flyers bet their future on the 20-year-old Patrick when they made the center the No. 2 pick of the 2017 draft. Patrick had been bothered by a variety of injuries and but didn't need offseason surgery for the first time since 2015. Patrick's ice time jumped late in the season and he could blossom into a star this season paired on a line with James van Riemsdyk, a 36-goal scorer who signed a $35 million, five-year contract. On a team that still counts on the veterans for the bulk of the scoring, Patrick's emergence would show the Flyers were right to start a rebuild.
OUTLOOK: The Flyers have won between 33 and 42 games each of the last five years, a streak of mediocrity that sometimes gets them in the playoffs and sometimes it doesn't. The Flyers would like to not have to wait until the final week of the season to qualify for a playoff berth but it's difficult to imagine they can approach 100 points this season.
MONTREAL: LAST SEASON: 29-40-31, 71 points. Finished sixth in Atlantic Division and missed playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien (third season, 17th NHL season)
ADDED: F Max Domi, F Tomas Tatar, C Tomas Plekanec, F Joel Armia
LOST: LW Max Pacioretty, F Alex Galchenyuk
PLAYER TO WATCH: Carey Price. The all-world goaltender could be the difference between Montreal being one of the worst teams in the NHL and a playoff contender. He has the ability to steal games and will have to stay healthy and be at his best to have the Canadiens even dreaming about returning to the postseason.
OUTLOOK: Absent a heroic performance from Price, the Canadiens are in rebuilding territory after trading Pacioretty and Galchenyuk and counting on Domi and a youth movement to generate some optimism in hockey-mad Montreal. It's tough to see this as a playoff team on paper, especially with top defenseman Shea Weber out for at least the first couple of months of the regular season.
PREVIEW
Flyers looking for another win at Montreal

After winning in Montreal five weeks ago, the Philadelphia Flyers will look for an encore performance when they visit the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

The Flyers were in last place in the Metropolitan Division when they notched a 5-2 win over the Canadiens on January 19. That result was part of an eight-game winning streak and a 12-2-1 run for Philadelphia over its last 15 games, bringing the Flyers (28-25-7, 63 points) back to the outskirts of the playoff race.

Philadelphia sits eight points behind Montreal for an Eastern Conference wild-card berth, as well as eight points back of Pittsburgh for the third Metro Division playoff spot.

The Flyers' postseason hopes took a blow, however, when with a 5-2 loss to the league-best Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Lightning scored three goals in their first nine shots against Carter Hart, leading Hart to be pulled from the game after just 10:23 of action.

Despite the early hook, Flyers interim head coach Scott Gordon didn't blame Hart, and said he intends to again deploy the rookie goalie against Montreal.

"We didn't give Carter a chance tonight, to be able to help us win the game," Gordon said. "Him getting pulled had nothing to do with him as much as it was I want him to be ready for Thursday. ... I thought it was also an opportunity to get Moose 1/8Brian Elliott 3/8 in there, get some NHL action which he hasn't had in a while."

Elliott stopped 22 of 23 shots on Tuesday, his first game since November 15 due to a lower-body injury. It could be a brief return for Elliott, however, as newly-acquired goalie Cam Talbot practiced with the Flyers on Wednesday. Talbot has yet to make his Flyers debut due to visa issues, though he could be activated for backup duty as early as Thursday.

The Canadiens (32-21-7, 71 points), of course, are much more settled in net thanks to Carey Price. The former league MVP had another strong game on Tuesday, stopping 31 of 33 shots in a 3-2 Montreal win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

"Teams that are winning are getting great goaltending. We've got that right now from him," Canadiens head coach Claude Julien said. "Even the games we didn't win, he's been good. He's been good for quite a while now. He's back to the Carey that we all know."

Price's performance has been all the more important given the struggles of backup Antti Niemi, who has a 3.75 goals against average in 16 games. Niemi has just 14 minutes of ice time over Montreal's last eight games, and Price is expected to again get the start against Philadelphia.

The victory over Columbus snapped a four-game (0-3-1) winless streak for Montreal. The Jan. 19 defeat to Philadelphia marks the Canadiens' only regulation loss in their last 10 games (7-1-2) on home ice.

Phillip Danault may not be available on Thursday, as the Montreal forward missed both the Columbus game and Wednesday's practice due to personal reasons.

The Flyers have won their last five games against the Canadiens, dating back to 2017.

Sean Couturier recorded two assists against Tampa Bay, giving him four consecutive multi-point games. Couturier has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in his last 11 games and 27 (nine goals, 18 assists) in his last 18.
