Philadelphia has completely flipped expectations in this series, winning Game 1 (3–2) and Game 2 (3–0) to take control despite both teams finishing the regular season with 98 points.

The Flyers enter Game 3 on a strong stretch, having won six of their last seven games dating back to the regular season, while the Penguins have now dropped multiple straight games and have struggled to generate offense. Pittsburgh was one of the league’s better scoring teams during the season (3.54 goals per game), but that production has disappeared in the series, with just two total goals through two games.

The biggest difference so far has been defense and goaltending. Philadelphia netminder Dan Vladar has been outstanding, including a 27-save shutout in Game 2, while the Flyers’ structured defensive play has limited high-quality chances and neutralized stars like Sidney Crosby. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh still holds advantages on paper, better power play efficiency (24.1% vs. 15.7%) and higher shot volume, but must translate that into actual scoring to avoid falling into a 3–0 series hole.
