Overview
- Game 4 in South Philadelphia airs nationally on TNT and truTV with streaming on HBO Max, with local coverage on NBC Sports Philadelphia and a scheduled 8 p.m. puck drop likely closer to 8:25.
- Starting goalie Dan Vladar is a game-time decision after a Game 3 collision with Bryan Rust, and Sam Ersson is poised to start if needed after posting a .912 save percentage and 1.99 goals-against average post break.
- Philadelphia has controlled the series by seizing second periods after slow starts, and it won Game 3 by a 5-2 score despite Pittsburgh scoring first.
- History points to a quick finish, with NHL teams only 4-209 all-time when trailing 3-0 and the Flyers 10-0 when holding such a lead.
- A sweep would be the Flyers' first since 1995, adding weight to a rivalry that has flared with frequent penalties and heavy emotion in this series.
