PITTSBURGH – Facing the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins, in Pittsburgh, is not the best scenario for a team looking to end a seven-game losing streak.
Just ask the Flyers.
Sidney Crosby scored on a tip-in with 3 minutes, 12 seconds left in overtime Monday, giving the Penguins a 5-4 victory over the shell-shocked Flyers at PPG Paints Arena.
They have lost eight straight, their longest skid since 2008. Their last three losses were in overtime.
Michael Raffl skated around Phil Kessel with a power move and scored on a backhander with 3:41 left, snapping a 3-3 tie.
