The Pittsburgh Penguins are on the brink of elimination.

Pittsburgh suffered a 5-2 road loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday to go down 3-0 in its first-round playoff series. It’s a disappointing result so far for the Penguins, who entered the series with home ice and plenty of confidence.

Although the Penguins haven’t played well in the series, Pittsburgh won’t roll over. Instead, the team has confidence they can win four straight games, as the group believes they have what it takes to pull off an epic comeback.

“You know it's possible,” goalie Stuart Skinner said postgame on Wednesday. “You know, statistics are fun to look at. But doesn't mean they're always right. What really helped me in my experience was it kind of just frees you up. You don't really have anything to lose.

“We got the bodies in here. We got a resilient group. I can say that over and over and over again, but we've proven it, we've shown it. This is the group that can definitely come back from this deficit. I certainly believe that.”
