The Philadelphia Flyers may have fought hard to get into the series by winning Game 3 with a whopping final score of 6-3 but the Pittsburgh Penguins have quickly recovered. With a three-game advantage over the Flyers, the Pens have a good chance of winning the series.

There was no scoring in the first period of Game 4 but during the second, Pens captain, Sidney Crosby, slid feet-first into the Philly net and, fortunately, took the puck right along with him. The play was reviewed, of course, but it ended up counting. Tyler Kennedy scored about four minutes later and then Maxime Talbot put one into an empty net late in the game to seal the deal.
Only Daniel Carcillo was able to score for the Flyers because Pens goaltender, Marc-André Fleury was incredible last night. He turned away 45 shots on net and kept Pittsburgh in the game. You can’t say that Philly didn’t try.
