Penguins vs. Flyers Series Schedule: Dates, Channels, Streams for 2026 NHL Playoffs originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
For the first time since 2018, the Penguins and Flyers will collide in a best-of-seven series. Pittsburgh secured the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division, setting up a heavyweight clash with a Philadelphia squad that won six of its last seven games on the way to a playoff berth.
The Penguins surpassed all expectations in Year 1 under Dan Muse, finishing with 98 points and landing behind only the Hurricanes in the division standings. Pittsburgh rolls into the bracket with a high-octane offense that generated 3.54 goals per game, one of the best marks in the NHL.
On the other side, the Flyers are led by Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras, both of whom tallied more than 60 points this season. Just like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia returns to the postseason under a first-year head coach in Rick Tocchet, who was a member of Pittsburgh's coaching staff when the Pens won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017.
Here is the complete series schedule for Penguins vs. Flyers, including TV and streaming options for playoff games.
