SERIES RECAPS Game 1, Wednesday, April 11, 2018 – Pittsburgh 7, Flyers 0 at PPG Paints Arena: A three-goal first period set the Penguins on their way to a Game 1 victory. Pittsburgh took the lead 2:38 into the game on a goal by Bryan Rust, and then after Scott Laughton was denied at the Penguins end just before the period’s halfway point, Carl Hagelin tipped home the Pens’ second of the night. Pittsburgh took it from there, with a goal from Evgeni Malkin with just under six minutes left in the first and one from Jake Guentzel on the power play 7:50 into the second. Sidney Crosby then finished off the game with a hat trick. Brian Elliott started and made 14 saves in 29:01 before stepping aside for Petr Mrazek, who turned aside 12 shots the rest of the way. Matt Murray made 24 saves in the win. Stars of the Game: 1 – Sidney Crosby; 2 – Jake Guentzel; 3 – Matt Murray.
Game 2, Friday, April 13, 2018 – Flyers 5, Pittsburgh 1 at PPG Paints Arena: The Flyers took a 2-0 lead on goals late in the first and early in the second, and used that momentum to take a 5-1 win and even the series at 1-1. Shayne Gostisbehere capitalized on a power play with 37 seconds left in the first period to make it 1-0, and then Sean Couturier scored 47 seconds into the second period to double the lead. After killing off three Pittsburgh power plays over the rest of the second, Travis Konecny made it 3-0 1:29 into the third, and the lead grew to 4-0 on a power play goal by Nolan Patrick a little less than four minutes later. Patric Hornqvist put the Penguins on the board 17 seconds after Patrick’s goal, but that’s all Brian Elliott would allow. Andrew MacDonald found an empty net with just under 16 seconds to play. Elliott made 34 saves in the win, while Matt Murray stopped 15. Stars of the Game: 1 – Sean Couturier; 2 – Brian Elliott; 3 – Ivan Provorov.
Game 3, Sunday, April 15, 2018 – Pittsburgh 5, Flyers 1 at Wells Fargo Center: The Penguins used three power play goals to outpace the Flyers and took a 5-1 win. After Sidney Crosby scored just past the halfway point of the first, Pittsburgh expanded its lead to 3-0 on power play goals four minutes apart in the second by Derik Brassard and Evgeni Malkin. Brian Dumoulin added a tally just five seconds after Malkin’s. Travis Sanheim got the Flyers on the board just under seven minutes later, but the Flyers wouldn’t get anything else past Matt Murray. Justin Schultz added a third power play goal 7:08 into the third. Murray made 26 saves in the win, while Brian Elliott stopped 21. Stars of the Game: 1 – Sidney Crosby; 2 – Matt Murray; 3 – Evgeni Malkin.
Game 4, Wednesday, April 18, 2018 – Pittsburgh 5, Flyers 0 at Wells Fargo Center: Matt Murray made 26 save to anchor Pittsburgh’s 5-0 win. Goals came from five different players – Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel in the first, Kris Letang and Sidney Crosby in the second, and Riley Sheahan in the third. Brian Elliott started and made 14 saves in 28:04 before yielding to Michal Neuvirth, who stopped 11 in 31:56. Stars of the Game: 1 – Sidney Crosby; 2 – Phil Kessel; 3 – Matt Murray.
Game 5, Friday, April 20, 2018 – Flyers 4, Pittsburgh 2 at PPG Paints Arena: Sean Couturier scored with 1:15 left in the third period to lift the Flyers to an eventual 4-2 win. Claude Giroux scored his first goal of the playoffs with 2:31 left in the first period to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead, but Pittsburgh pulled ahead in the second on goals by Bryan Rust with 8:00 left and Jake Guentzel with 3:15 to play. But with 1:45 left in the frame, Valtteri Filppula stemmed Pittsburgh’s momentum with a shorthanded goal, sending the game to the second intermission tied at 2-2. That set the stage for Couturier’s heroics, and Matt Read finished things off with a late empty- netter. Michal Neuvirth made 30 saves to pick up the win, while Matt Murray stopped 21 in the loss. Stars of the Game: 1 – Sean Couturier; 2 – Valtteri Filppula; 3 – Bryan Rust.
GAME 5 NOTABLES The Flyers had 48 hits in the game, which is the most they’ve had in any game in more than three years and the most they’ve had in a playoff game since they had 49 at Toronto on April 30, 2004.
After allowing five power play goals on 19 opportunities in the first four games, the Flyers’ penalty kill went 5-for-5 tonight and scored a shorthanded goal.
Per the NHL stats team, Sean Couturier’s goal with 1:15 remaining was the fifth-latest go-ahead goal in a playoff game in Flyers history. They haven’t had one that late since Eric Lindros scored the GWG with seven seconds left in the third period in Game 4 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers.
Valtteri Filppula scored the Flyers’ first playoff shorthanded goal since 2012, when Claude Giroux scored one in Game 4 of the 2012 Conference Semifinals at New Jersey. He also had two assists for his third career three-point playoff game.
GAME 6 BY THE NUMBERS The Flyers have trailed a seven-game series 3-1 on 17 occasions in their history, and are trying to win one under those circumstances for just the second time in their history. The only time they’ve won the series was the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals against Boston, when they came back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series in seven games.
This is the ninth time the Flyers have been down 3-1 and forced a Game 6 with a win in Game 5. Five of those nine series have come to an end with a loss in Game 6, while four of them have seen a Game 6 win that forced a Game 7.
Overall, regardless of record, the Flyers are 20-19 in Game 6. They have a total record of 8-11 in Game 6 when trailing 3-2, without regard to how they reached that 3-2 deficit.
The Flyers are 33-36 all-time when facing elimination, a record that includes all playoff series in their history – also best-of-three and best-of-five series.
The Flyers have an all-time playoff OT record of 36-38. They are 3-2 all-time in five OT games vs. Pittsburgh. The Flyers have not gone to overtime in a playoff game since May 3, 2012 vs. NJD, with 19 consecutive games now having been settled in regulation. That’s their longest stretch since playing 28 in a row without OT from Game 2 of the 1985 Wales Conference Final through Game 7 of the 1987 Patrick Division Final.
FLYERS/PENGUINS REGULAR SEASON SERIES The Flyers and Penguins met four times during the regular season. The Flyers were 0-2-2 in the series, with both overtime losses coming here in Pittsburgh by a 5-4 score.
The Flyers went the entire season without a win over the Penguins for the first time since the 2006-07 season, when they were 0-6.

Five Flyers on the current roster took part in the 2012 series between the clubs. Their stats in that series:
Couturier – 6 GP, 3-1-4, +3, 0 PIM Simmonds – 6 GP, 1-3-4, -3, 26 PIM Read – 6 GP, 2-2-4, +1, 4 PIM Giroux – 6 GP, 6-8-14, +6, 11 PIM Voracek – 6 GP, 2-5-7, +1, 6 PIM
REGULAR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS On Dec. 3, the Flyers were 8-11-7 and were 28th in the NHL. From that point, they went 34-15-7 over 56 games. The run included two separate streaks of 12 games and 8 games without a regulation loss – they went 10-0-2 from Feb. 3-26 and were 5-0-3 in eight games from March 17 – April 1.
Claude Giroux became the sixth Flyer in franchise history to post a 100-point season when he picked up his first career hat trick in the season finale against the New York Rangers. Giroux finished the season with 34 goals and 68 assists for 102 points, all of which were career highs. He jumped from 10th to 5th in team history in scoring, and moved into a tie for third all-time in assists. In his last 29 games dating back to February 28, Giroux has 19 goals and 25 assists for 44 points.
Jake Voracek also established a new career high in scoring with 85 points on the year, surpassing his 81 from the 2014-15 season, as did Sean Couturier, who more than doubled his scoring totals from a year ago (14-20-34 to 31-45-76). The Flyers have three players over 70 points for the first time since the 2008-09 season. Couturier finished at a plus-34, the highest total for a Flyer since the 1998-99 season (Lindros, +35).
Shayne Gostisbehere finished fourth among NHL defensemen in scoring with 13 goals and 52 assists for 65 points. It’s the highest- scoring season by a Flyers defenseman since Garry Galley had 70 in 1993-94, and the 52 assists are the third-highest total in team history for defensemen (Mark Howe 58 in 1985-86, Galley’s 60 in 1993-94).
Ivan Provorov shared the league lead in goals by defensemen with 17 (Dougie Hamilton, Victor Hedman) and in doing so became the first defenseman in franchise history to have even a piece of the league lead in defenseman goals.
Travis Konecny had four goals and six assists for 10 points in the first 36 games of the season, and then had 20 goals and 17 assists for 37 points in the last 45 games.

Pittsburgh Penguins: Media Notes
LAST 2 PLAYOFF GAMES:
Apr. 20: Philadelphia 4, Pittsburgh 2 – PPG Paints Arena – Game 5 PGH Goals: Rust; Guentzel Multiple Points: None Goalie: Murray (21 saves/24 shots) Key Stats: Valtteri Filppula scored a momentum-shifting shorthanded goal to help the Flyers stave off elimination. Including the regular season, it was just the fourth shorthanded goal allowed by the Pens all year. Pittsburgh’s three shorthanded goals against in the regular season was tied for the fewest allowed in the NHL. PP: 0-5 PK: 1-1
Apr. 18: Pittsburgh 5, Philadelphia 0 – Wells Fargo Center – Game 4 PGH Goals: Malkin; Kessel; Letang; Crosby; Sheahan Multiple Points: Crosby (1G-1A); Malkin (1G-1A); Kessel (1G-1A); Guentzel (2A) Goalie: Murray (26 saves/26 shots) Key Stats: Matt Murray’s shutout was his second of the series. This is the third-straight series dating back to last year that the Pens have had multiple shutouts. They accomplished that feat just twice in their first 64 playoff series. PP: 1-4 PK: 4-4
RECENT TRANSACTIONS Apr. 20 – F Josh Jooris re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL)
TONIGHT’S GAME -The Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers play Game 6 (TV: NBC; Radio: 105.9 The X) at Wells Fargo Center. -Pittsburgh is 15-3 all-time in the playoffs under head coach Mike Sullivan following a loss (7-1 in 2016; 7-2 in 2017; 1-0 this year). -The Pens are aiming to wrap up their ninth-straight playoff series victory. That would equal the club record originally set between 1991- 93. -During the Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin era, the Penguins are 19-17 in games when they can eliminate an opponent (0-1 this season). -A win today would give the Penguins a 5-0 record this year at Wells Fargo Center (currently: 2-0 regular season; 2-0 playoffs). That would be the most wins the Pens have had in Philadelphia in a single season (regular season and playoffs). -Since Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin joined forces in 2006-07, the Penguins have gone 19-11-2 in Philadelphia during the regular season; and 6-4 in the playoffs. Before their arrival, Pittsburgh was just 18-81-11 here in the regular season; and just 3-6 in the postseason. -Derick Brassard enjoyed maybe his best game as a Penguin in Game 5. In addition to setting up Bryan Rust’s goal, Brassard led the team with eight shots and four hits. He also went 9-3 (75%) on draws. Brassard’s eight shots are the second-highest total of his playoff career, and his highest total since joining the Pens.

TEAM NOTES:
BOUNCEBACK Matt Murray owns a career playoff record of 9-1 following a loss. He has a 1.52 goals-against average (16 GA/633 MIN) and a .939 save percentage (246 SV/262 SH) in those contests. During his career, Murray is 11-1 all-time in the playoffs in the game immediately following a Penguins loss (includes two wins following losses by other Pens’ goaltenders). The only back-to-back playoff losses of Murray’s career came in Games 3 and 4 of last year’s Stanley Cup Final against Nashville. He responded by posting back-to-back shutouts to close out that series and win a second-straight Cup.
MURRAY SLAMS THE DOOR The shutout win in Game 4 was Matt Murray’s 25th career playoff victory. It came in just his 36th career postseason appearance. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that established an NHL record for the fewest games to reach 25 playoff wins. The previous mark of 37 games was shared by five Hall of Famers: Grant Fuhr, Patrick Roy, Gerry Cheevers, Terry Sawchuk and Bill Durnan. When the Penguins have an opportunity to clinch a series, Murray is 6-4 all-time with a 2.02 goals-against average (21 GA/625 MIN) and a .921 save percentage (245 SV/266 SH). Murray is 7-4 all-time in elimination games (when either the Pens and/or the opposition has a chance to clinch).
SID PASSES MARIO Sidney Crosby’s second-period goal in Game 4 represented his 173rd career playoff point, establishing a franchise record. Mario Lemieux owned the previous record with 172. Crosby is one point shy of becoming the 17th player in NHL history to reach 175 playoff points. Crosby has 10 points in the series. This marks the third time that Crosby has reached double digits in points in a single series in his career: also 2009 vs. Washington (7GP, 8G-5A-13PTS) and 2010 vs. Ottawa (6 GP; 5G-9A-14PTS).
PRIMETIME PERFORMER Jake Guentzel scored his second goal of the series in Game 5. That stretched his point streak to three games (1G-3A-4PTS), equaling the longest playoff run of his career. Guentzel, who trails only captain Sidney Crosby in points during this series with eight, equaled his highest single-round point total. He also had eight points (4G-4A-8PTS) in last year’s Second Round series against the Washington Capitals.
LETANG TIES MURPHY Kris Letang’s goal in Game 4 allowed him to equal Larry Murphy’s franchise record for points by a defenseman with 72. Among active defensemen, only the Chicago Blackhawks’ Duncan Keith (81 points) has produced more playoff points than Letang.
