First Round, grabbing a 3-0 series.

Led.

a sweep.

Rasmus risked the line in, Nick Sealer, and Noah Kates also scored for Philly, the number

3 seed in the Metro Division.

Sean Couturier, Jamie Drysdale, and Noah Juleson each dished to assist, while Dan Blader

stopped 29 shots in net.

Pittsburgh, the number 2 seed, got goals from Evgeny Malkin and Eric Carlson, but Stewart

Skinner could only save 24.

The Penguins jumped ahead early on a power play, but couldn't hold it.

Philly roared back with 3 quick goals in the second period to flip the script 3-1.

They added 2 more in the third, including an empty netter from Owen Tippett to seal it.

Game 4 goes down Saturday in Philly, where the Flyers could punch their ticket to the second

round for the first time since 2020.

This series is heating up fast.
