Flyers Humiliated By Pittsburgh Penguins 7-1 In Second Straight Loss

Entering the game hoping to avoid a two-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Flyers faced off against a bitter, in-state rival in the Pittsburgh Penguins in their first meeting of the 2019-20 campaign. The Flyers were fresh off of a disappointing loss to the New York Islanders and needed their defense to have a bounce-back performance as they took on a talented Penguins offense that saw forward Alex Galchenyuk return to the lineup after suffering a lower-body injury earlier in the month. Brian Elliott got the nod from Head Coach Alain Vigneault and opposed Matt Murray in-net.
