You won’t find many rivalries that match the vitriol of the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Add in stakes for both teams and it should be an especially fun time on NBCSN.
The Penguins hope to put themselves in a better spot to win the Metro, with the bonus of possibly landing a fatal blow on the Flyers’ playoff hopes.
Philly is seven points out of the East’s second wild card spot with 14 games left, so while a loss wouldn’t mathematically eliminate them, it would be a huge blow.
Considering the star power on hand - and the mutual disdain shared by top stars such as Sidney Crosby and Claude Giroux - the level of play should be high, too.
