Wasn’t that 7-2 thrashing of the Penguins fun? Yeah, this game wasn’t as fun.
It was a milestone night for Brian Elliott, who was in goal for his 500th NHL game. Fittingly on May the 4th, Elliott would’ve needed the help of the force to walk away with a victory in this one.
Things got off to a rough start for the Flyers, and the Penguins pounced early. Just 1:44 into the game, a pretty passing play made quick work of Shayne Gostisbehere and Robert Hagg, before Marcus Pettersson walked around Elliott for the tally.
