<\/a>\u2022 Media notes: Penguins<\/a> | Flyers<\/a><\/p>\n

\u25ba FOLLOW ALONG<\/p>\n

\u2022 Vladar stops Chinakhov. Game over. Flyers win, 4-3<\/p>\n

\u2022 Zegras beats Skinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rakell misses.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Skinner denies Michkov.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mantha rejected by Vladar.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Overtime’s not enough for this one. Penguins can’t capitalize on the power play. Going to a shootout.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Vladar takes down Karlsson as the Flyers were about to have an odd-man rush the other way. Penguins will have a 4-on-3 power play. 2:09 remaining.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Novak loses an edge in the offensive zone, leading to a 3-on-2 the other way. Skinner comes up big.<\/p>\n

\u2022 60 minutes aren’t enough. Onto overtime …<\/p>\n

\u2022 Penguins pushing. Just can’t get that fourth goal yet. 18.6 seconds remaining. Offensive zone faceoff coming.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Grundstrom called for high-sticking. The Penguins’ fifth power play of the game coming up. Time: 13:19.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Skinner with a huge save on a puck that bounced off the end wall straight to Barkey, who was all alone in front. Game remains tied.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This period, Kindel’s been centering the Mantha-Brazeau line while Novak is in between Koivunen and Hayes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wow. Vladar left his night to retrieve a puck wrapping around the boards. It took a funny hop and landed right in front of the net. However, Chinakhov can’t get a stick on the bouncing puck.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Outside of the one play that led to Novak’s goal, the Penguins’ power play has been brutal tonight.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Dvorak called for slashing. Hit Rakell’s stick over the top on a shot attempt. Time: 3:54.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chinakhov gets a chance early in the period to put the Penguins back in front, wide open look in front of Vladar, but his shot sails high and wide.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The puck drops for the third period. Here we go.<\/p>\n

\u2022 End of the second period. These 20 minutes were much more back and forth. Penguins hold an advantage in shots, 15-10. No penalties carrying over. One more period to go. Tied, 3-3<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dewar gets a breakaway near the end of the penalty kill, but Vladar rejects it. No shorty for Dewar. Game still tied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Letang steps up to make a hit, misses, giving a breakaway the other way. He gets called for a slash. Skinner bails out Letang with a save. Flyers to the power play.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Barkey. A failed breakout by Letang turns the puck over and the Flyers once again capitalize. Assists: Michkov, Cates. Time: 10:03. Tied, 3-3<\/p>\n

\u2022 Karlsson is now the 10th defenseman in NHL history with at least 13 40-point seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Flyers nearly tie it back up again. Dvorak left wide open at the top of the crease, but Skinner is able to get the pad over and make the save. 11:42 remaining in the period.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Penguins answer back. Back and forth we go. Off the faceoff, Karlsson rips a 92.3-mph one-timer from the left point. Assists: Chinakhov, Rakell. Time: 5:45. Penguins, 3-2<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Flyers get it right back. Grebenkin makes a nice pass from the corner into the slot and Bump gets his first career goal in his debut. Assist: Grebenkin. Time: 4:46. Tied, 2-2<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Rakell buries a wrister past Vladar from the high slot. Nice play that developed off the rush. Assists: Chinakhov, Rust. Time: 3:38. Penguins, 2-1<\/p>\n

\u2022 Koivunen and Brazeau almost get two more assists, Kindel can’t bury the cross-crease pass from Brazeau. Hits off the side of the net.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The puck drops for the second period. The Penguins have 40 seconds left on the power play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 End of the first period. Penguins were the better team, leading in shots, 8-2. 40 minutes to go. Tied, 1-1<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Hayes with a huge hit on York behind the Flyers’ net. Sends him flying to the ice. Drysdale takes exception and goes after Hayes. Both have a quick fight. Drysdale also called for an additional roughing minor. Time: 18:40<\/p>\n

\u2022 Novak is almost always in the right spot at the right time. Such a smart player.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Penguins kill off the Brazeau minor. Four minutes and ticking in the first period.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Clifton with back-to-back hits on the penalty kill, the second sending Zegras flying to the ice.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Brazeau is called for tripping while skating hard on the forecheck. Time: 13:44<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wotherspoon turns it over at the Flyers’ blue line, Zegras skates down the left wing with a clear shot at Skinner, but he flashes the glove to keep the game tied. Loud Stuuuuuuuu chants fill the arena.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Flyers smother the Penguins on the power play this time. Nothing even resembling a threat this time around, barely any zone time at all.<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Glendening catches Brazeau up high with a high stick. Penguins to another power play. Time: 9:12<\/p>\n

\u2022 First TV timeout at 6:30 into the period. Penguins leading in shots, 5-1. Outside of one bad turnover that led to the Flyers’ goal, it’s been primarily Pittsburgh in control.<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Hayes tries to make a slick no-look, between-the-legs pass on the break out but winds up turning it over. Flyers capitalize as Tippett buries a pass from Zegras. Assists: Zegras, York. Time: 3:54. Tied, 1-1<\/p>\n

\u2022 GOAL: Beautiful tic-tac-toe work. Koivunen passes to Brazeau below the line, who taps it to Novak in the slot, one-timing it past Vladar. Assists: Brazeau, Koivunen. Time: 3:00. Penguins, 1-0<\/p>\n

\u2022 First power play unit: Karlsson, Chinakhov, Mantha, Rust, Rakell. Second unit: Letang, Kindel, Novak, Koivunen, Brazeau<\/p>\n

\u2022 PENALTY: Chinakhov breaks free toward a potential breakaway, but Ristolainen is called for holding. Penguins to the power play. Time: 1:31.<\/p>\n
