Pens sweep flyers in SO

The Penguins fell behind early 2-0, but stormed back to tie it twice. Gary Roberts, Michel Ouellet and Erik Christensen sparked the comeback. Roberts had a goal and an assist, while Christensen had two goals in regulation and added a third in the shootout. Fleury stopped the first two Philly shooters, and Sidney Crosby scored on his attempt to end it. The 2 points lowered the Pens magic number to 25 points with 34 possible points left for the Pens to gain on their own.

In other scores, Boston won at New Jersey, 4-1, keeping New Jersey only 8 points ahead of the Pens in the Atlantic Division race. 8th place Carolina also lost, improving the Pens lead on the 8th spot to 6 points, and to 7 points on Montreal.
