GAME PREVIEW

The Penguins play their final road game of the season as they head to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. Pittsburgh is 3-0-0 against Philadelphia this season, and have won three-straight versus them dating back to last season. The Penguins are looking to sweep the season series against the Flyers for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign (4-0-0). Pittsburgh has points in 16 of its last 22 games against Philadelphia (13-6-3).

QUICK HITS

Today, the Penguins conclude their final set of back-to-back games. This year, the Penguins are 13-4-4 in back-to-backs (8-2-1 on the first night; 5-2-3 the second night).
Jake Guentzel has 23 points (9G-14A) in 22 career regular season games against the Flyers. If you include postseason games, Guentzel has 36 points (15G-21A) in 28 games.
The last time Pittsburgh and Philadelphia faced off on Feb. 15, Sidney Crosby became the second active player (Alex Ovechkin), and the 46th player in NHL history, to record 500 career regular-season goals.
Despite only playing in 38 games this season, Evgeni Malkin sits one goal shy of hitting the 20-goal plateau for the 13th time in his career. Only teammate Sidney Crosby (14) has more such instances in team history.
Since entering the league in 2006-07, no defenseman has more points against the Flyers than Kris Letang (47). He is riding a six-game point streak (2G-7A) against Philadelphia and has points in eight of his last nine games (3G-8A) versus them.
