Montreal, Quebec (My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia Flyers try to remain unbeaten tonight when they close out a season-opening road trip against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

After skating to a 2-2 tie in Edmonton on opening night, the Flyers earned a 5-4 comeback victory in Calgary on Saturday. Mark Recchi recorded his fifth career hat trick as he led Philly back from a 4-2 deficit. In addition to tying the game with a pair of goals in a 1:45 span late, he set up Jeremy Roenick for the game-winning one-timer at the 18:50 mark of the third.

Roenick notched a goal and two assists for the Flyers, and Justin Williams also scored. Goaltender Roman Cechmanek turned aside 21 shots.

Philadelphia does have some injury problems up the middle as it concludes this early trek. Roenick has what is believed to be a developing hernia, but is likely to play, while captain Keith Primeau is questionable after taking a shot off his right ankle Saturday. X-rays showed no broken bones in the ankle.

The Flyers will hold their home opener Thursday night against the Islanders, and play six of their next eight games after tonight at the First Union Center.

Montreal, meanwhile, began the season with a 4-1 road win over the Rangers, but dropped its home opener, 6-1, to Buffalo on Saturday. Hart and Vezina winner Jose Theodore was lit up for all six goals on 31 shots as the Sabres put three goals on the board in each of the last two periods.

Defenseman Patrice Brisebois scored the lone goal for Montreal, which allowed several odd-man rushes throughout the night. After the game Theodore said his club simply gave up once it trailed 2-1.

"Once we fell behind 2-1, we gave up; we were lost out there," Theodore, who was brilliant in the first period, told the Montreal Gazette. "A loss like this is pretty upsetting to me."

Montreal also struggled on the power play, firing at an 0-for-4 clip. The Habs are 1-for-11 with the man-advantage through two contests.

The Canadiens head to Detroit for a Thursday affair before returning home for a two-game stand that begins with Toronto on Saturday. In all Michel Therrien's club plays five of its next seven tilts at the Bell Centre.

Philadelphia and Montreal split four games last season, but the Canadiens are 5-2-2 in the last 10 overall. The Flyers have, however, won two straight at the Bell Centre, formerly known as the Molson Centre.
