Flyers Head Back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 After Game 4 Loss Against Penguins

Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, forcing Game 5 and avoiding a first-round series sweep.
Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Muse benched starting goaltender Stuart Skinner for Arturs Silovs after trailing 3-0 in the series, sparking the team's comeback effort.
Silovs made 25 saves while Crosby and Letang scored crucial goals; the Flyers outshot Pittsburgh 30-21 but couldn't overcome the goaltender's defensive performance.
The Flyers maintain a 3-1 series lead despite the loss, with Game 5 scheduled for Monday in Pittsburgh as the Penguins bid to extend the playoff matchup.
History weighs heavily against the Penguins; only four teams have rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a seven-game series, including the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers and 2014 teams.
