- Overall Record: 41-24-16
- Home Record: 20-13-8
- Road Record: 21-11-8
Despite ending the regular season with a better record, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been outclassed in their opening two games against the Flyers in the playoffs.
The damaging defeat earlier this week leaves them with a mountain to climb, likely requiring back-to-back victories on the road to keep their realistic hopes of progression alive. Pittsburgh stuttered in the final third in the recent 3-0 loss, with Ben Kindel and Kris Letang both failing to make a telling impression in offensive areas despite registering three shots on goal apiece.
