What’s at stake — Crosby facing elimination
The Philadelphia Flyers lead the series 3-1 and are one win from advancing. A Flyers win tonight eliminates Pittsburgh — and potentially ends the playoff career of Sidney Crosby, one of the greatest players in NHL history.
Crosby at 38 years old is facing a first-round exit in what could be one of his last playoff runs. The Penguins have looked outmatched through four games — the Flyers have been faster, hungrier and more physical. Pittsburgh’s only win came in Game 4.
For the Flyers — who ended a six-year playoff drought this season — advancing past the Penguins would be one of the great moments in their recent history.
