Pittsburgh blew a chance to end the series on Friday as Sean Couturier scored with 1:17 left to give the Flyers the lead, and they went on to win 4-2. Matt Murray had 21 saves in a losing cause for the Penguins, who still have beaten the Flyers seven of the last nine meetings. Patric Hornqvist plans on returning for the Penguins after missing the last game with an injury. Center Evgeni Malkin is questionable, but Pittsburgh proved last year that it can play through injuries, and Murray already has two shutouts in this series. Michal Neuvirth is expected in goal again for Philly after stopping 30 shots in Game 5. The Penguins are 59-26 their last 85 games after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game, and they have won their last four road games at Philly. Take the Penguins.
