Philadelphia has been enjoying quite a bit of success at home so far this season, with a 5-1-1 record at the Wells Fargo Center. Their last regulation loss at home dates back to October 19 against the Dallas Stars.
The Habs are well aware of those stats and want to shut down the play in order to take away the Flyers' opportunities.
"We know they're playing well in this building. We know they have a lot of skill. It's a matter of us, just like last game and the games previously, they have high-skilled forwards who can make plays," explained Jeff Petry, who has two goals for 10 points in 15 games this season. "We have to be tight on them, tight through the neutral zone and make sure we don't give them the opportunity to make plays. It's a game we have to focus on being strong defensively."
