Rick Tocchet’s Philadelphia Flyers Philadelphia Flyers (42-27-12) are home on Tuesday to host Martin St. Louis’ Montreal Canadiens (48-23-10) in the 2025-26 regular season finale. It’s Orange Out night, with a packed house of Orange and Black partisans decked out in team colors to send the Flyers off to the playoffs in style.
On Monday, the Flyers captured a 3-2 (1-0) home shootout victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. In the process, Philly clinched third place in the Metropolitan Division.They will play the archrival Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal.
The Habs, meanwhile, will play the Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s yet to be determined which team starts the series with two home games.
That question will be aswered based on the Canadiens’ game against the Flyers and Tampa’s outcome on Wednesday at home against the New York Rangers. In the event of a tie in final points — both the Habs and Bolts currently have 106 points apiece– Tampa Bay has clinched the tiebreaker with 40 regulation wins to 34 for Montreal.
