Tonight marks the first matchup in a set of three between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s the first time in club history that these franchises will play each other in Pittsburgh three times in a row. Earlier this season, the Flyers swept the Penguins in two games. Carter Hart earned the victory in both games, defeating Pittsburgh by an average of three goals. Tonight, Hart will have an opportunity to build on his momentum after securing his first shutout of 2020-2021.
Joel Farabee and Travis Konecny both had a four-point game versus the Penguins this season.
