Players to Watch: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Pittsburgh Penguins
Kris Letang — Defense. Game-winning goal in both Games 4 and 5. Letang has been the catalyst for Pittsburgh’s comeback in this series, scoring the decisive goal in each of the last two Penguins wins to keep the series alive. His ability to contribute offensively from the blue line in critical moments gives Pittsburgh a dangerous weapon in the late stages of tight games.
Arturs Silovs — Goaltender. 2-0 record in this series, 2.00 goals-against average, .920 save percentage. Silovs stepped in after Pittsburgh dropped the first three games and has been outstanding, winning both of his starts and keeping the Penguins in the series with consistent, high-level goaltending. He is Pittsburgh’s most important player heading into tonight’s elimination game.
Philadelphia Flyers
Dan Vladar — Goaltender. Shutout in Game 2, strong save percentages throughout. Vladar has been the backbone of Philadelphia’s 3-2 series lead and has kept the Flyers in games when their offense has gone quiet. His consistency has allowed Philadelphia to protect their series lead and put themselves in position to advance with a win tonight.
