Flyers-Penguins Playoff Series Game 2: Lines, Notes & How to Watch
The Philadelphia Flyers (1-0) will look to extend their series lead on Monday when they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins (0-1) at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. Philadelphia earned the 3-2 win to open the series, stealing the first game and shifting the early momentum of the series in its favor. They did so by outbattling, out-hitting, and just overall gutting out a win against a “been there before” Penguins lineup.
Going back to 2000, the Flyers are 7-2 in playoff series where they win the first game of the series. Being up 1-0 is where they want to be, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Especially given that the Flyers are 5-4 in Game 2s after Game 1 wins, dating back to 2000.
Will Pittsburgh bounce back in Game 2? Or, will Philly grow its lead? Puck drop is at 7:00 p.
