Philadelphia @ Montreal 1-3
Alexander Radulov had the Bell Centre crowd chanting his name after he played a role in all three Montreal Canadiens goals in a 3-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers. Radulov had a goal and two assists to help Montreal extend its winning streak to four games. Brendan Gallagher deflected Radulov's one-timer from the right point on the power play past Steve Mason for his fourth goal at 13:08 of the third period, four seconds after Flyers center Sean Couturier was penalized for tripping. Radulov, who scored into an empty net with 1:03 remaining, also set up Shea Weber's second goal of the season, which gave the Canadiens (5-0-1) a 1-0 lead in the second period.
"I don't know how to say, I got this tickle ... Yeah, goosebumps. It's a good feeling obviously. It's nice to get that from them [the fans]. I said that before, it's all about the fans. If it wasn't for them, I don't think we would play. It's great that they were there for us, even when we didn't have our best today. They got us going. It was nice." Radulov said.
Goalie Carey Price made 31 saves to win his third straight start since missing the Canadiens' first three games because of the flu. Jakub Voracek scored his third goal in the second period and Mason made 30 saves in his fifth consecutive start for the Flyers (2-3-1). Weber, who also assisted on Gallagher's goal, gave Montreal a 1-0 lead at 5:28 of the second period with a slap shot from the right point that broke Flyers forward Brayden Schenn's stick on its way past Mason. The Flyers, who ended a three-game losing streak with a 6-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, have allowed the first goal in five straight games. Voracek, who had two goals and one assist Saturday, tied it 1-1 at 11:47 of the second when he deflected Giroux's wrist shot from the point past Price. The Canadiens have won 12 straight home games in the month of October since a 2-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 26, 2013. With Canadiens center Alex Galchenyuk struggling in the faceoff circle, Gallagher won a faceoff against Boyd Gordon to begin the play that led to his game-winning goal. Gordon won 10-of-12 faceoffs; Galchenyuk won 1-of-10, and Gallagher won 2-of-7.

Montreal @ NY Islanders 3-2
Shea Weber scored a power-play goal with 2:57 remaining in the third period to give the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 win against the New York Islanders at Barclays Center. Weber scored 55 seconds after Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy was called for slashing, one-timing a pass from defenseman Jeff Petry over the right shoulder of goalie Thomas Greiss. Montreal (6-0-1) is the only NHL team without a regulation loss. The Canadiens twice had a one-goal lead but the Islanders tied the game each time. It was 1-1 heading into the third period when Canadiens forward Phillip Danault put a loose puck past Greiss at 11:21 to give Montreal a 2-1 lead. New York defenseman Dennis Seidenberg tied the game 2-2 at 14:16. Weber assisted on Danault's goal and has three goals and nine points. Montreal goalie Al Montoya made 26 saves and is 3-0-1. He played two seasons with New York from 2010-12, including an NHL career high 26 starts in 2011-12. Montoya has made it easier for Therrien to limit the workload of Carey Price, who has won his three starts. Paul Byron gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead 3:10 into in the second period. The Islanders (3-4-0) tied the game 1-1 when John Tavares scored his fourth goal of the season, on a power play at 15:17 of the second after Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin failed to clear the puck in front of Montoya. Greiss made 26 saves, including 11 in the second period. Tied 2-2 late in the third period, Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty passed the puck down to Petry at the blue line. Petry passed to his left to Weber, who one-timed the puck top shelf.

Philadelphia @ Carolina 4-3
Florida @ Detroit 5-2
Colton Sceviour scored the first hat trick of his NHL career and had an assist to help the Florida Panthers to a 5-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. The Panthers ended a three-game losing streak and are 6-1-1 in their past eight games in Detroit. Vincent Trocheck had a goal and an assist for Florida (4-4-1) and Jonathan Marchessault scored. James Reimer made 34 saves in his first win for the Panthers.
Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek was pulled after allowing four goals on 10 shots. Jimmy Howard made 13 saves in relief. The Panthers took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Sceviour scored twice in 23 seconds. The first came on a Florida power play, when he tipped Trocheck's feed past Mrazek at 6:09. Sceviour was at the edge of the crease again at 6:32, knocking in a rebound for his fourth goal of the season. Three of them have come against Mrazek. Florida took a 3-0 lead when Marchessault finished off a 2-on-1 break at 17:29 of the first, sliding Denis Malgin's feed past Mrazek. The goal was Marchessault's sixth of the season, tying him for the NHL lead. Dylan Larkin made it 3-1 with a power-play goal at 2:36 of the second, but the Red Wings (6-4-0) continued to struggle against Trocheck, Sceviour and Reilly Smith.
Trocheck gave Florida a 4-1 lead with a wrist shot at 5:02, ending Mrazek's night. Sceviour finished off his hat trick at 16:25 of the second, making it 5-1 with a shorthanded goal to go along his power-play and even-strength goals. Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith made it 5-2 with a power-play goal at 10:03 of the third. With Florida on the power play, Sceviour broke to the net just in time to tap in Trocheck's hard pass across the top of the crease for his first of three goals. Shortly after he entered the game, Howard was forced to make a point-blank save when Malgin got to a loose puck in front of the net and took an uncontested wrist shot.
