Condon has been called upon to start Friday against Philadelphia, J-F Chaumont of the Journal de Montreal reports.

Analysis:

As Montreal has continued to struggle, so has Condon. His season-long numbers are bad (2.60 GAA, .900 save percentage), and in his last eight, Condon has allowed two goals or less just twice. While the Flyers sit at 25th in the league in scoring, their offense has started to click in recent weeks and are a near lock to beat Condon a few times Friday.
