Philadelphia Flyers head to Pittsburgh for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference First Round series, looking to grab a two-nothing lead after that. Tight 3-2 win in Game 1. It's 7pm Eastern time at PPG Painterina, with the Flyers dominating on the road so far. First time they'd snag two straight away wins to open. They off since beating these same penguins back in 2012. Both squads know they left shots on the table in the opener, Philly with 20, Pittsburgh with 18, and neither converted enough chances. Flyers coach Rick Tuckett wants his crew to bear down on those two on ones and break aways for more goals, while penguins are tweaking their neutral. Zone game to speed up transitions in Spark Offense against Philly Stingy D, their ranked fourth in the league, allowing just 25.5. Players and coaches on both sides, stressing short memories, heading in no dwelling on Game

1:041's highs or lows. Chris Latang, hitting his 150th playoff game, knows how quick series flip, and Flyers rookies like Trevor Ziegras are treating this as. Just step 1 toward the bigger prize. Key eyes on Flyers top pair Travis Sandheim and Rasmus Ristalainen, who logged heavy minutes shutting down Sinney Crosby's line last time. Ristalainen, with two assists in 25 minutes, Sandheim driving on the workload. Penguins coach pushing patience through the neutral zone, without frustration against Philly's packet back style. Minovs look steady, though Flyers have Owen Tippett and Emil Andre questionable after missing practice, and they recalled a couple of defensemen from. The miners, Penguins sticking close to Game 1's setup with Crosby, Malcolm and Carlson, including the charge, should be fireworks as this series heats up.
