This is the first of six battles for Pennsylvania this season. Last year the Flyers won the season series 5-3, but lost the Eastern Conference Finals 4-1. This season the Flyers have gotten off to a slow start, and it doesn't help that their first road game is at Pittsburgh. The Penguins started off the season in Europe, and split the two games with Ottawa, but then lost in overtime to New Jersey on Saturday.
The Game: Philadelphia Flyers(0-0-2) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (1-1-1)
What's Good:
The Flyers won twice in Pittsburgh last season. Mike Richards and Simon Gagne have both scored in each game this season.
What's Bad:
Martin Biron has given up 8 goals in 4 periods of hockey.
What to Expect:
The Flyers have come close in both of their games this season, but couldn't hang onto a lead last night, and couldn't complete a comeback on Saturday. They will need to figure out a way to get a point tonight, or the beginning of this season will begin to mirror the terrible 2006-2007 season.
The Prediction:
Pittsburgh 5 Philadelphia 2
