Montreal stayed alive in the series with a 5-3 win over the Flyers on Wednesday when Nick Suzuki scored the decisive goal just 22 seconds after Philadelphia had tied it in the third period. Carey Price had 26 saves while Joel Armia scored twice for the Canadiens. Philly still is struggling on offense as it has scored a total of only eight goals in the first five games. With Price in net, Montreal always has the ability to keep it close, especially with the Flyers recent non-prolific offense. Price has a 1.64 goals-against average in the postseason and a stellar .943 save percentage in nine games. He also had a 1.98 GAA versus Philadelphia in the regular season. Take the Canadiens on the puckline for my NHL Playoffs Round 1 Game of the Year.
