Philadelphia Freedom: Flyers Stay Alive

Better late than never for the City of Brotherly Love?
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Martin Biron made 36 saves on the night as the home team beat the visiting team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-2 to send game 5 back to Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Joffrey Lupul scored twice while Danny Briere and Jeff Carter each scored for the Flyers. For the Penguins, it was Jordan Staal who put the puck between the pipes twice while Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was good for 30 saves.
The Penguins are 7-0 in the playoffs at home and have won 15 straight. They defeated the Flyers 4-2 there in the first two games of the series. Only two NHL teams have recovered from an 0-3 deficit to win, the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders. But for the Penguins, they’ve got their sights set on bigger things: the Stanley Cup Finals. The last time they advanced to the finals was back in 1992.
