When it came down to it, the Flyers ran out of gas. Montreal was the hungrier team early, opened up the lead and let their goaltender do the rest. The regulation loss pushed the Flyers further back in the chase for the playoffs, and likely closed the book on an unlikely comeback.

The Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens on home ice to kick off the final 10 games on the schedule, having split the first two meetings of the season in Montreal.
Erasing a five-point deficit and at least one seven-point deficit is not favorable or likely for the Flyers, especially with just 15 games to play in the regular season, but for now, there is a path to do it.
