<p>The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 at the Bell Centre. It was their seventh straight victory, marking the first time the team has won seven straight since January of 2002.</p>
<p>The Habs fought back from three one goal deficits, but it was a third period one timer blast from the point off the stick of Andrej Meszaros that proved to be a game winner. Jaromir Jagr found Meszaros standing alone near the blue line and he flat out beat Carey price to the stick side for his third goal of the season.</p>
<p>Max Talbot, rookie Harry Zolnierczyk and Wayne Simmonds also tallied for the Flyers, who maintain their overall lead in the Eastern Conference with 43 points.</p>
<p>The win came on a somewhat somber day for the Flyers who found out that they would be without their captain, Chris Pronger, f<a href="http://philly.sbnation.com/philadelphia-flyers/2011/12/15/2639366/chris-pronger-injury-update-out-for-season-philadelphia-flyers">or the remainder of the regular season and post season</a> with severe post concussion syndrome.</p>
<p>The Flyers are back in action Saturday afternoon as they welcome the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins to the Wells Fargo Center.</p>
