The Penguins avoided elimination with a hard-fought 4-2 victory in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Flyers. Pittsburgh delivered its most complete performance of the NHL Playoffs with four different players scoring goals and Arturs Silovs totaling 28 saves.
However, the Pens still have plenty of work to do if they want to complete a miraculous comeback. They remain one loss away from elimination, and an NHL team hasn't pulled off a reverse sweep since 2014.
The series will now shift back to Pittsburgh for Game 5. With the home crowd behind them, the Penguins will try to chip away at the Flyers' lead and send the series back across the state for Game 6.

6 p.m.: It's do-or-die for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who enter Game 5 at PPG Paints Arena trailing the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 in the series.

But, after one win and the series shifting back to Western Pennsylvania, expect Dan Muse's team to get a boost from the home crowd.
