Stanley Cup Playoffs: Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers Game 1 start time, live stream, TV schedule, odds
The Philadelphia Flyers begin their first-round series against the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST.
The real Stanley Cup Playoffs have arrived. In round 1, the Philadelphia Flyers will face the Montreal Canadiens. Game 1 of their series will take on place on Wednesday, August 12, starting at 8:00 p.m. EST.
That, of course, assumes there are no delays. This game will be the third game of the day in Toronto, so if the Hurricanes and Bruins go to overtime or the Capitals and Islanders go to overtime (or both), the start time could be pushed back.
The Flyers come into the series as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference after sweeping the round-robin tournament. They entered the Toronto bubble as the number four seed, but now their road to the Stanley Cup Final just got a whole lot easier.
On the other side of the ice, the Canadiens pulled off a huge upset by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins in four games during the play-in round. They’ll look to upset the other team from Pennsylvania.
