The Penguins<\/a> refused to let the Battle of Pennsylvania end on Monday night, edging the Flyers, 3-2, in a must-win Game 5. Following their road victory to stave off a sweep, the Penguins returned to an absolutely electric PPG Paints Arena and slashed the Flyers’ series lead to 3-2.<\/p>\n

Elmer Soderblom<\/a> kicked off the scoring with his first postseason goal, lighting the lamp just 2:45 into the contest. The Penguins doubled their advantage early in the second period on Connor Dewar<\/a>‘s second goal in as many games. Philadelphia<\/a> roared back, however, with Alex Bump<\/a> trimming the lead only 12 seconds later and Travis Sanheim<\/a> tying the game late in the second period.<\/p>\n

Kris Letang<\/a> then launched a shot that rattled off the back wall, took a bizarre bounce and snuck in behind Flyers<\/a> netminder Dan Vladar<\/a>, giving Pittsburgh<\/a> a 3-2 lead that it never relinquished. The rivalry will now shift back across the state for a pivotal Game 6 in Philadelphia on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
