Pittsburgh has made the series interesting after falling behind 3-0, winning back-to-back elimination games to force the matchup back to Philadelphia.

The Penguins stayed alive with a 3-2 Game 5 win, getting the go-ahead goal from Kris Letang, two assists from Sidney Crosby, and 18 saves from Arturs Silovs.

Philadelphia still controls the series, but the pressure has tightened after two missed chances to advance. NHL.com notes that Matvei Michkov is likely to return for Game 6, which would give the Flyers another key offensive weapon as they try to avoid a winner-take-all Game 7 in Pittsburgh.

With the Penguins carrying momentum and the Flyers trying to finish the job at home, this rivalry game has become one of Wednesday’s biggest NHL playoff matchups.

This is a great NHL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
