Flyers could advance to Round 2 with win vs. Penguins — Here’s how to watch

The Flyers are currently up three games to two in the best-of-seven series against its intrastate rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Flyers won three straight to open the series, but the Penguins came back with wins in games four and five, where the Flyers erased a 2-0 deficit to tie things up, but a fluke bounce led to a bizarre Penguins goal that put them ahead, 3-2.

If the Flyers win tonights game, they’ll advance into the second round of the NHL Playoffs to face the Carolina Hurricanes. A Penguins win would force a winner-takes-all Game 7 in Pittsburgh.
