Summary
Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now and Will James of Philly Hockey Now break down the Penguins' stunning 3-2 comeback win in Game 5 — including Kris Letang's fluky-but-magical goal — and look ahead to a pivotal Game 6 at Xfinity Center in Philadelphia. With the series tied 3-2 in favor of the Flyers, both reporters debate goaltending concerns, the physicality ratcheting up, young players finding their footing in the playoffs, and whether the Flyers locker room actually believes the pressure is off.
