No points for Jagr
The Flyers kept Jaromir Jagr off the scoresheet, other than two hooking penalties and a +1. Philadelphia media were crediting Ivan Provorov with playing a good game against Jagr.

The high scoring Penguins may score a lot of goals but will allow a few, too. Should be an exciting game against the Stanley Cup champions as the Legend Continues….
