Penguins Turn to Silovs for Playoff Lifeline

0:00It's April 25th. I'm Corey with the story. This is NHL News today, driven by AI and built for fans. Pittsburgh Penguins are staring down elimination. Trailing the Philadelphia Flyers, three games to none in their Eastern Conference first round series. For Game 4 tonight at APM Eastern at Exfinity Mobile Arena, Coach Mike Muse is turning to 25-year-old Goalie, our tour's silos for his. First start of the playoffs. Stuart Skinner handled the first three games but went 0-3 with the goals. Against average over 3. Acquired in December from Edmonton and a trade for Tristan Jerry, Skinner was steady in 27 regular season starts for the Penguins. Muse insists the switch isn't on Skinner's play, who he calls Solid All Series. It's just a lineup tweak after three straight losses. Team reactions stay calm and confident. Penguins' defenseman Ryan Shay says the game plan doesn't shift, praising both goalies for stepping up all year without missing a beat.

1:00He knows the team sometimes let Skinner down lately, but Silaus brings that same fire, always prepping early and bouncing back strong. Silaus shines in big spots from his past. In his first penguin season, he posted 19 wins and 39 games with solid stats. Last year with Vancouver's affiliate, he snagged Calder Cup MVP honors. He even started 10 playoff games for the conucks under current Flyers coach Rick Toket, pushing them deep into the second round, plus Olympic. Action for Latvia. With Silaus in net, Pittsburgh gets a fresh competitor who's thrived in pressure cookers before. Now they rally to claw back in Force Game 5.
