10/13/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roman Hamrlik finished with a goal and one assist as Montreal used a four-goal third period to shake off Philadelphia, 5-3, at the Wachovia Center.
Andrei Kostitsyn, Mike Komisarek, Robert Lang and Steve Begin tallied once each for the Canadiens, who have won two games in a row, both on the road.
Carey Price stopped 29 shots for the win.
Mike Richards had a goal and a helper for the Flyers, who have dropped both of their season-opening home games. Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter each scored once.
Martin Biron allowed four goals on 26 shots to take the loss, his second of the year.
"Tonight I was seeing the puck well," Biron said. "I just let them off the hook a little bit."
The 31-year-old had a horrible first game on Saturday, allowing four goals on 14 shots in less than one period.
Hamrlik's tip-in from the left side 1:18 into the third tied the game, 2-2. On the goal, Alex Kovalev's cross-ice pass from the right wing found the Habs defenseman alone for the score.
A fluke deflection 44 seconds later gave Montreal a 3-2 lead. Komisarek wound up from the right point and his shot caromed off the stick of Philly's Scottie Upshall and changed direction before hitting the net.
"It got me in the shoulder and the puck went right to the back of the net," Biron said of the unlucky bounce.
Lang converted a four-on-four situation with a redirection of a Hamrlik pass with 6:20 left in regulation to put the Canadiens ahead by two.
Gagne then scored into a half-open net while on the power play 64 seconds later. Mike Knuble had fanned on the initial shot from the slot and Gagne corralled it in front and slipped the disc home.
Unlike Saturday's whirlwind effort late in a 4-3 loss to the Rangers, the Flyers could not muster any offense with Biron pulled. Begin iced the game for the Habs with an empty-netter at 19:25.
In a four-on-four situation, Kostitsyn stuck a wrister off the right post and past a screened Biron just 54 seconds into the second period.
Carter knotted the game at 2:46 when he took a feed from Upshall and blasted a slapshot from the bottom of the left circle.
Richards' point blast on the power play at 4:15 put Philly ahead by one. Danny Briere's bank shot on a stuffer attempt with 8:09 played, which could have boosted the home team to a two-goal cushion, was ruled no goal by a replay.
Montreal kept pressing and Lang hit the post a few minutes later, followed by a great Biron glove save on a screaming wrister from Kovalev.
The Canadiens were unable to get an equalizer and the Flyers took a one-goal lead to the third.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout
An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.
Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either.
Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition.
Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.
Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper".
22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great.
Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition.
Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night.
Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good.
Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig".
Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good.
22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next. "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon. Though the judges felt he performed okay. Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.
Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start.
Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
