Wow, didn’t think I’d be doing another one of these this season. Alright, let’s regroup.
The Flyers staved off elimination with a game five win over the Pittsburgh Penguins to force a game six back in Philadelphia. Now, they look to force a game seven in this wild season. The first two home games of this series went just about as poorly as possible, losing 5-1 and then getting shutout 5-0 in game four. They’ll need to figure things out at home if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Sean Couturier ended up being the biggest story of game five.
