Let's Get it On!

It's a playoff hockey night in Pittsburgh. Pens face the hated Flyers in game one at the Igloo in their best-of-seven series. The two teams come in evenly matched. Consider the following:

• Both totaled 99 points
• The Pens won 45 games and the Flyers 44
• Both won 20 road games
  
• Both scored 264 goals
• The Flyers allowed 238 goals and the Pens 239

Throughout the season most of the Penguins' scoring came from Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby who combined for 68 games. However the Pens have 11 players who scored ten or more goals. Philadelphia spreads out its scoring among six 20-goal scorers and seven with at least ten.

Pens goaltender Marc Andre Fluery finished the year with 35 wins, a .912 save percentage, a 2.76 goals against average and four shutouts. Philadelphia's Martin Biron won 29 games, with a .915 save percentage, a 2.76 goals against average and two shutouts.

All the fun starts tonight at 7:00 p.m. with game two scheduled for Friday night.

Also tonight the Rangers play at Washington, Carolina's at New Jersey and in the West, St. Louis plays Vancouver.
