That win gave them a commanding 3 games to 1 lead in their first round series with the Washington Capitals. After three strong games, most thought that the series was pretty much won by the Flyers. No one thought that the Capitals could come back. Last night, just a few days later, they did just that. They tied the series at 3 games, and forced a deciding game 7. After failing to get the job done on Saturday afternoon, the Flyers wanted to come out tonight and finish off the Capitals.

The atrocious officiating was as poor as it's been all series. Many said that the Flyers had no business winning game 4 in Philadelphia, and on Saturday they definitely didn't. If the Flyers are going to win this series they'll have to do it without the services of winger Mike Knuble. The game 4 hero left the game late in the second period when he fell awkwardly trying to block a shot. He will miss the rest of the series according to The Canadian Press.

Despite the score, the Penguins were outshot 30-15 by the Capitals and were fortunate to pick up a point on the night to move them back into 1st place in the Atlantic Division. Goaltender Dany Sabourin started in net for the Penguins, but was chased out after 4-goals in favor of Ty Conklin. Conklin gave up 1-goal in regulation and 2 in the shootout, which cost the Penguins the additional point. Evgeni Malkin (2G, 1A), Ryan Malone (1G, 2A) and Sergei Gonchar (3A) all had a great game and picked up 3-points each on the night. ....click the link for the full article........
