It was a group effort as the Flyers are moving on to the second round. But there were a few players who stood out over the rest.

It took six games, but the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Montreal Canadiens to make it to the second round. It was the first time they had won a playoff round since 2012. It wasn’t an easy series to win either.

The Canadiens were hungry and determined to prove everyone wrong after making it through the play-in round. The Flyers did not play their best game during most of the series either. That’s a big reason Montreal hung in as long as they did.

But when it came down to it, the Flyers were able to get just done to move on. They will certainly need more from up and down the lineup against the Islanders.

Before we look ahead to that series, we take a look at some of the players who stood out above the rest against Montreal.
