Minimum 3 players during Montreal Canadiens’ 4-1 loss to Philadelphia Flyers

#3 Josh Anderson

Anderson set up Montreal’s only goal with a strong puck drive and pass back, but then failed to cover his man defensively on the following rotation, allowing Carl Grundstrom to quickly tie the game on the opening possession.

Defensive miscues changed the team’s momentum early and reflected the team’s overall lack of urgency.

2. Jacob Fowler

Fowler suffered a serious communication breakdown behind the net late in the second quarter. He stopped the puck, expecting a teammate to retrieve it, but Matvey Michkov stole the puck and assisted on Bobby Brink’s goal to seal the 3-1 victory.

This mistake stands out as the team conceded three goals in limited high-danger sessions. Fowler made 17 saves and has a save percentage of .850 in two games.

#1 Ivan Demidov

Demidov’s poor decision in the offensive zone contributed directly to the Flyers’ go-ahead score – he stole the puck from teammate Alexander Kalil and retreated toward the blue line, leading to a two-on-one rush that led to a goal by Trevor Zegras.

He also added to his team’s woes by taking a cross-check penalty earlier. Demidov ended the night with a loss of 2 points.
