When the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philidelphia Flyers met in the 1989 Patrick Division Finals, it marked the first time in postseason history the clubs had met. Here is a look back at the series.
Game 1
The Flyers let the Penguins know early on that this series would have a much different tone, then Pittsburgh’s first-round encounter with the New York Rangers, when they laid a ton of thunderous hits in the opening period.
Losing 3-1 in the second period, the Penguins relied on their supporting cast to provide the offense.
Goals from Dan Quinn and John Cullen 30 seconds apart drew the score even and Rob Brown buried the winning tally with less than seven minutes left in the third period, to give the Penguins a 4-3 lead and 1-0 series lead.
