Can the Penguins send their first-round series back to Philadelphia with a Game 5 win?
Pittsburgh secured its first victory of the 2026 NHL Playoffs on Saturday, avoiding a sweep against a Flyers squad that outscored the Penguins, 11-4, through the first three games of the series. Sidney Crosby had two points (one goal, one assist) in the 4-2 win, and Arturs Silovs finished with 28 saves in his first postseason start with the Pens.
If the Penguins want to be the first team to overcome a 3-0 deficit since 2014, they will need to carry the momentum from Game 4 into PPG Paints Arena on Monday night.
Here is everything you need to know about Penguins vs. Flyers, including TV and streaming options for Game 5 of the first-round series.
