Can Flyers finish off Penguins with another road win?

PITTSBURGH — The Flyers on Monday night have their second crack at trying to close out the Penguins in this best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

They were unable to sweep Pittsburgh two nights ago as they lost, 4-2, at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Now the series has shifted back to PPG Paints Arena for Game 5.

“We knew we weren’t going to win them all,” Owen Tippett said Sunday. “That was our first chance to close them out. We’re still in a really good position. It’s good that we had that game, to kind of feel that pressure a little bit.”

The Penguins own a ton of experience. Five of their players have at least one Stanley Cup title. The Flyers came into the series with 13 first-timers in the playoffs on their roster.

“You can tell, experience means a lot in certain things,” Rick Tocchet said Sunday. “I think last game, we lacked a little bit of experience in certain situations. But that’s what you can learn from, that’s why you’re in the fight and you get to do it again and again. I think that playing those type of games and then learning from it is huge for our young guys.”

Tocchet’s club won Games 1 and 2 at PPG Paints Arena. It’ll try to win one more there in Game 5.

Puck drop is scheduled for around 7 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. ET with Flyers Pregame Live.
