Postgame RAV4: Flyers Drop 5-1 Decision to Pittsburgh | Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers remained on a 5-on-3. They were unable to score again to take the lead. With play at 5-on-4, Ben Kindel very nearly scored a shorthanded goal. Additionally, Foerster went to the locker room with an apparent upper-body injury suffered as he attempted to fire off a one-timer.
Abols was called for a holding penalty at 7:60. Eighteen seconds later, Crosby scored his second goal of the game. The assists went to Rust and Karlsson.
Couturier was called for a holding penalty at 15:20. The Penguins one again scored on their power play. Rust scored off the top of the post and into the net at 15:52. Evgeni Malkin and Karlsson earned the assists.
At 17:12, Crosby tripped Andrae and took a penalty. With 42 seconds left on the Philadelphia power play, Andrae was called for interference right after breaking his stick on a shot attempt. Ninety seconds remained in the second period.
Except for the temporary reprieve of Foerster’s 5-on-3 power play goal, very little went the Flyers’ way.
Shots: Flyers 6 (14 overall) – Penguins 9 (17 overall)
Faceoffs: Flyers 7(16 overall) – Penguins 10 (18 overall)
Notable:
- Foerster (8:50 TOI, two shots on net, one goal) was unable to return to the game.

Third period synopsis
Karlsson hit the post during the carryover power play time. Vladar gloved down a Crosby one-timer.
At 1:45, with play back at 5-on-5, Malkin made contact with Vladar on an apparent goal. The Flyers challenged the play for goaltender interference. The challenge was upheld and the goal came off the board. The score remained 3-1.
The Flyers went to their sixth power play when Ville Koivunen interfered with Brink. Philly lost the first faceoff and it took some time to get set up. Pittsburgh later had a pair of zone clears. Late in the advantage, a Jamie Drysdale shot attempt was blocked out of play.
Jarry made a stick save on a Zegras deflection of an Andrae shot. The Flyers generated some forechecking pressure over the next two shifts. Shots were 9-7 Flyers midway through the period.
Michkov was called for a slashing minor at 12:03. Novak scored off Vladar’s glove at 13:51. Letang and Malkin drew the assists. At 15:33, Hayes took a lead pass from Parker Wotherspoon and moved in to score.
The Flyers had a 10-second power play to finish the game.
Shots: Flyers 15 (29 overall) – Penguins 11 (27 overall)
Faceoffs: Flyers 9 (27 overall) – Penguins 10 (28 overall)
Notable:
- Indicative of the team’s puck management issues in this game, the Flyers had 27 turnovers on the night (20 charged giveaways, seven Pens takeaways).
- Zegras led all players with six shots on goal. Crosby had five for Pittsburgh.

Postgame RAV4 (RAV4 Things Revisited)
1. Balancing energy and discipline
The Flyers never really got in sync in this game. It wasn’t so much a lack of discipline as lack of execution. That said, Couturier’s second period penalty was far from his own end of the ice, and proved costly. It was also not up to the level of goaltending performances that Vladar has typically provided this season.
2. Key game for Konecny
The two-time Bobby Clarke Trophy winner had two shots on goal and one assist. He engaged in several chirping battles. No one on the Flyers made a major impact on this game once Foerster was lost.
3. Cates vs, Crosby
There was no holding back the Penguins’ captain on this night. Crosby was Johnny-on-the-spot all night.
4. Early/late period goals.
This was not a factor in the development of Monday’s game. Special teams were the determining factor.

Pittsburgh has rainiest March in nearly 60 years as flooding causes issues across area
Several areas across western Pennsylvania were hit by flooding as overnight rainfall pushed Pittsburgh past a nearly 60-year-old record.
Pittsburgh has recorded 6.18 inches of rain in March, breaking the record of 6.10 inches, which was set in 1967. The rain caused issues in several communities on Friday, including some in Washington and Westmoreland counties.
Major road flooded in Washington County
Communities across Washington County spent Friday cleaning up after flooding from Thursday night’s storms.
Roads were closed, and ballfields were wrecked because of the rain. Ponds that aren’t supposed to be there could be found all over the county.
“As long as it rains and the creek is flooded, then the road is flooded,” Ruth Mahoney, the owner of The Glass Place in Cecil Township, said.
Georgetown Road in Cecil Township turned into a lake at the bottom of a hill and underpass. Dispatchers said the driver of a car stuck in the water didn’t have to be rescued or taken to the hospital. The flooding ties up the area as the road connects Interstate 79 to Route 19.
“It’s a main artery,” Mahoney said. “Tons of cars come down here every day.”
North Strabane Township saw more of the same. The Lindenwood Golf Club had some new water hazards on the course on Friday. As the water receded into the Linden Creek, a mess was left behind.
It was the same story in Houston.
“When I looked out the window, I was like, ‘woah.’ It’s just rising fast,” said Rogelio Esteris. “My daughter was here playing baseball yesterday because she’s on the softball team and now the field is ruined.”
South Strabane Township had a landslide on Locust Road as well. Mother Nature didn’t take it easy on Washington County. Mahoney said it’s affecting her business.
“When people call, they want to know how to get here,” she said. “You have to tell them, you can’t come because it’s closed today or there’s a backroad, but they don’t understand how to come on the backroad.”
Mahoney said the water should take about a day to recede. Officers told KDKA the car would have to wait to be towed until the water goes down.
Loyalhanna Creek rises, flooding yards
As dawn broke on Friday morning and the rain from the previous night began to cease, some residents of Westmoreland County who live close to the Loyalhanna Creek saw flooding around their homes and along their local roads.
Paul Faust, who lives in the Darlington area of Ligonier Township, has a small tributary to the Loyalhanna Creek in his backyard, but on Friday, that run was acting less like a stream and more like a moat.
“I was up probably about 5 a.m., and it was high,” Faust said. “But it wasn’t over the bank like this and then the next following two hours it started going up. But that is always how it is after it rains.”
Faust says that he and his wife have a system for when their area floods, including tying down outdoor furniture and moving their cars to the top of their driveway.
Many people that KDKA spoke with in Ligonier Township on Friday who live in low-lying areas said they are used to this type of thing and while this flash flood was unexpected, it was not out of the ordinary.
Some water had already begun to recede by Friday afternoon, but Ligonier Valley Police Chief Michael Matrunics still wanted to urge caution, especially for people driving on side roads that may still be flooded around the township.
“It might not look it, but it could be deeper than you expect,” Matrunics said. “And keep in mind, if you go past signs that are posted here, you could be cited for that. Also, if emergency services have to come out and rescue you or tow companies, you’re responsible for the cost. And your safety. Let’s put that at number one. So don’t drive through standing water on these bad weather dates.”
