With lost ground to make up in the chase for a playoff berth, it was imperative our Penguins emerge from last night’s Metro Division tilt with the Flyers with a regulation win.
Fueled by a vintage performance from “Geno Machino,” Evgeni Malkin, and backed by a 36-save effort from Alex Nedeljkovic, I’m pleased to report it was mission accomplished. Indeed, our guys whipped the Flyers, 4-1, and in the unfriendly confines of the Wells Fargo Center to boot. In the process phlipping the script against a Philly team that had beaten us in our first two encounters.
