Montreal Stays Alive; Beats Flyers

TORONTO (AP) – Nick Suzuki buried the winner 22 seconds after Philadelphia tied it in the third period, Brendan Gallagher snapped a goal drought and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Flyers 5-3 on Wednesday night in Game 5 to stave off elimination in the first-round playoff series. Joel Armia scored twice for the Canadiens, Phillip Danault sealed it into an empty net, and Carey Price made 26 saves. Brett Kulak and Jonathan Drouin each had two assists, and Suzuki also had a helper. Game 6 is Friday. Jakub Voracek scored twice for the Flyers – both on a five-minute power play in the second period – and added an assist, and Joel Farabee had the other goal. Carter Hart, coming off back-to-back shutouts, made 28 saves.
