Overview
- Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh 5-2 on Wednesday in South Philly to go up 3-0, a hole only four NHL teams have ever climbed out of.
- A second-period scrum sent 11 players to the box and set up Trevor Zegras’ tying power-play strike that flipped the game.
- Dan Vladar stopped 28 shots and stayed in after a brief right arm scare, continuing to outplay Penguins starter Stuart Skinner.
- The Penguins have just four goals through three games, with their power play stalling early in the series before two goals in Game 3.
- Elsewhere in Round 1, Dallas leads Minnesota 2-1 after a double-overtime winner by Wyatt Johnston, and Anaheim evened its series with Edmonton 1-1.
