PITTSBURGH – Claude Giroux said the Flyers would win Friday night in Pittsburgh and return to the Wells Fargo for Game 6 on Sunday.
The Flyers’ captain backed up his words.
Giroux settled down his team with the game’s first goal, and Sean Couturier — who gallantly returned to the lineup after an injury forced him to miss the previous game — scored with 1 minute, 15 seconds left to give the Flyers a stunning 4-2 win over the Penguins before a boisterous sellout crowd at PPG Paints Arena.
Couturier scored on a wrist shot from just inside the blue line.
