With each passing minute in this series it’s clear that the Flyers aren’t in the same stratosphere as the Penguins.
On the heels of a dominating 5-1 win in game 3 on Sunday afternoon, the Penguins were arguably even more impressive in bullying the Flyers during a 5-0 win on Wednesday night. The Flyers flipped home-ice advantage with a game 2 win in Pittsburgh, then promptly watched the Penguins skate into their own building and outscore them 10-1 in back-to-back dominating wins in Philadelphia to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Matt Murray wasn’t overly impressive in the Pittsburgh net (he didn’t have to be), but made all 26 saves in the win to earn the shutout and has now allowed just 5 goals on 96 shots (.
