Flyers goaltender Martin Biron once again stole the show for the Philadelphia Flyers making 32 saves to help the Flyers win a 3-2 nailbiter. The Flyers were outshot 34-14 on the night, but Biron had the answer to the Canadiens, including a great stick save on Saku Koivu's breakaway attempt in the first period that set the tone for the night.

After a scoreless first period, the Flyers got to the Habs starting goaltender Carey Price in the second period scoring three times to give the Flyers a 3-0 lead heading into the third period.

Price was pulled in the third period as Jaroslav Halak came in and had to make just two saves in the third as the Habs were all over the Flyers, mainly due to a five minute major penalty on defenseman Derian Hatcher. The Canadiens scored twice on the power play to make the score 3-2, and continued to put the pressure on the Flyers and Biron the rest of the night.

The Canadiens had chance after chance on Biron but the Habs just couldn’t get the puck past him. Biron was easily the star of the game, and with the win gave the Flyers a 2-1 series lead. After the win, Saku Koivu spoke about the position the Habs are in.

“Yeah, it seems that we’re being tested right now. I don’t think we played as well tonight as we did in the second game, but still we are able to put a lot of pucks on net and create chances.”

The Habs captain also made sure no one was blaming Price for the loss.

“You feel for your teammate. I think he’s part of the team, but he is being tested. Throughout the season, we won games as a team and we lost as a team, and that’s the way were going to go until the end.”

Spoken like a true captain.
