Flyers-Penguins Playoff Series Game 4: Lines, Notes & How to Watch
The Philadelphia Flyers (3-0) have the chance to go for the sweep of their cross-state rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins (0-3), in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philadelphia. Philly has been in control of the entire series. Slow starts in each of Games 1 and 2 brought the game to what ended up being decisive second periods in both of the first two games.
The Flyers ended up controlling play from there. On Wednesday, the Penguins scored in the first period, the first time either team scored in the first 20 minutes of a game this series. Pittsburgh had its first lead of the series before the Flyers eventually took control of the game in the second period and closed it out from there.
On Saturday, the Flyers will look to get back to scoring first and controlling the game from the beginning. Puck drop is at 8:00 p. m.
EST at Xfinity Mobile Arena, though I’d expect it to be later, like Game 1. Here is how the Flyers are expected to line up. Read More: Broad Street Brawl: Flyers Escape Wednesday Chaos With 5-2 Win Flyers expected lines & pairs vs.
