After going down 2-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in a tough spot as they search for their first playoff series win in eight years. With the next two games in Philadelphia, the odds aren't in Pittsburgh's favor. The Penguins haven't won a postseason series since beating the Flyers in the first round of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
