Penguins vs. Flyers Score, Live Updates, Highlights From Game 5 of NHL Playoffs Series originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Penguins avoided elimination with a hard-fought 4-2 victory in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Flyers. Pittsburgh delivered its most complete performance of the NHL Playoffs with four different players scoring goals and Arturs Silovs totaling 28 saves.
However, the Pens still have plenty of work to do if they want to complete a miraculous comeback. They remain one loss away from elimination, and an NHL team hasn't pulled off a reverse sweep since 2014.
The series will now shift back to Pittsburgh for Game 5. With the home crowd behind them, the Penguins will try to chip away at the Flyers' lead and send the series back across the state for Game 6.
Follow along right here for the latest updates and highlights from Game 5 between the Penguins and Flyers.

6:11 p.m.: On Saturday night, the Penguins got in the win column for the first time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The opening goalscorer was none other than Sidney Crosby, who scored his first playoff of the series.
With the win, Crosby became the fifth active player in the NHL to have 100+ career postseason wins.
6:05 p.m.: The Penguins are on-site ahead of tonight's contest.
6 p.m.: It's do-or-die for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who enter Game 5 at PPG Paints Arena trailing the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 in the series.
Pittsburgh got its first win of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs in Game 4 over Philadelphia by a score of 4-2, but still faces an uphill battle after losing the first three games of the series. But, after one win and the series shifting back to Western Pennsylvania, expect Dan Muse's team to get a boost from the home crowd.
Follow along for live updates throughout the night as the Penguins try to keep their season alive.
