Caufield ended a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally. The 24-year-old winger has had the occasional dry spell this season but has mostly been consistent in a top-six role. He's up to 34 goals, 63 points, 211 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-6 rating through 71 appearances. He needs three more points to set a career high.

With Brad Shaw assuming interim head coaching responsibilities for the remainder of the season, the Philadelphia Flyers beat the  Montreal Canadiens, 6-4, at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers fired John Tortorella with nine games left in another losing season for a franchise that hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2020.

Habs still clinging to wild-card playoff spot despite going winless in last four games, but things don’t look promising.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers won their first game under coach Brad Shaw, 6-4 against the Montreal Canadiens at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday. Shaw was promoted from assistant coach after John Tortorella was fired Thursday.

Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier had three-point games against the Montreal Canadiens, as the Flyers snapped a six-game losing streak in Brad Shaw's debut as interim head coach.

The Habs were down two with less than four minutes to play, but that’s as close as they got. A winnable game against a non-playoff opponent slipped through their fingers, and now the road trip is about to get a whole lot harder in Carolina on Friday and Florida on Sunday.

Fresh off a tough 6-4 defeat against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens will face the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night for the second of three meetings this season. The sole duel so far was held at the Bell Centre towards the end of February,
