Three second period goals from the Pittsburgh Penguins, including two from Kasperi Kapanen, pushed them over the Philadelphia Flyers, 5-2, on Tuesday night

On a night when it would have been easy to chalk up a quick loss to the Flyers for not having Sidney Crosby in the lineup, the Penguins played one of their better games of the season to pick up a huge win.

With Crosby out of the lineup, Evgeni Malkin slotted into the top line slot with Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust, but it was the depth players who truly impacted the Pens and drove them to a crucial cross-state victory.
