5 THINGS
1.The Pens have a chance to finish off the First Round series with a win tonight in front of the home crowd. Pittsburgh leads the series 3-1 and have outscored Philly 18-6.
2.Sidney Crosby posted 2 points (1G-1A) in Game 4. His 2nd point (a goal) was career playoff point 173, surpassing Mario Lemieux (172) for the top spot all-time in franchise history.
3.Matt Murray's Game 4 victory was his 25th career playoff win. He's the fastest goaltender in NHL history to reach 25 wins, doing so in 36 games (the previous mark was 37 which 5 players tied).
4.Sean Couturier (lower-body) skated on his own the previous 2 days and traveled to Pittsburgh. He's a possibility to play tonight for Game 5.
5.The Flyers have pulled goaltender Brian Elliott in 2 of the first 4 games of this series. But Michal Neuvirth is healthy and available so the team has options.
