In the back end one of the most topsy-turvy back-to-back sets I can recall, the Penguins turned the tables on Philly last night at Wells Fargo Center. However, the 7-3 black-and-gold triumph wasn’t quite as decisive or convincing as it sounds.
In fact, the game pretty much followed the same pattern as the previous night’s 7-2 Flyers win, only in reverse. Eerily so. This time it was the Pens who dominated the opening 20 minutes, outshooting their hosts, 11-7, and snatching the early lead on a tally from an unlikely source…light-scoring d-man Marcus Pettersson.
The Pens extended their lead in the second period on goals by Jake Guentzel and Sidney Crosby.
