Two Metro rivals who finished two wins apart in the standings face off in a battle that both teams might not want to get dirty. Keeping healthy will be key and breaking a bone in an exhibition game won’t be a smart decision. Philly has a bye into the first round, while Pittsburgh has a play-in against Montreal to contend with, so one team might have a higher sense of urgency than the other.
