PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers are
headed to overtime 0-0 in Wednesday night's Game 6 of their first-round series.
The Flyers lead the series 3-2.
The Penguins would host Game 7 on Saturday night with a win while a Flyers'
victory would send them into a second-round series against Carolina.
The Penguins took 32 shots on goal against Dan Vladar in regulation.
The last playoff game to head to overtime scoreless was Winnipeg and Edmonton
in a 2021 first-round series. The Jets won 1-0 in the first OT.
Sidney Crosby and the Penguins are aiming to become just the fifth team in NHL
history to win a series after trailing 3-0. They've won two straight games to
force Game 6.
The Flyers are among the four teams that have rallied to win a series after
losing the first three games. They did it against Boston in the second round in
2010. Philadelphia ended up reaching the Stanley Cup Final that season, losing
to Chicago.
The Flyers are in the playoffs for the first time since 2020, when they last
reached the second round in the bubble season. They are playing their first
series at home since 2018.
