It’s not just fans getting to know Rem Pitlick. Match after match, the 24-year-old striker’s new teammates are discovering him more and more.
“I didn’t know him very well. Since he’s been there, we’ve seen his level of skill. He’s a very smart player. We see it by the little games he succeeds. Rem scores big goals, he does us great service. »

For some time now, Samuel Montembeault has been experiencing a complete turnaround. After going through difficult times, he is much more solid and confident.
“The situation is completely reversed. At the start of the season, I only played the second games on the road, every three weeks. It’s nice to see that Martin trusts me. I’m happy to see so much action, to be able to come back to the game immediately and win. »

During the game, Martin St-Louis saw fit to make some changes to his lines. Thus, Suzuki found himself in the center of Mike Hoffman and Brendan Gallagher, while Pitlick was surrounded by Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson.
“Mike and Brendan are two very good players. This is something Martin wanted to try and it worked out well. »

Like the Canadiens, the Flyers run into trouble when the score is tied after three periods. This setback was the 12th (6-12-3) suffered by Mike Yeo’s troops in such circumstances.
“We will have to find ways to convince players to play the right way to win games, not just play the way they want. I will remove guys from my training if necessary. I will take out veterans too, if I have enough players to do so.
