Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - Sidney Crosby picked up a pair of goals and Sergei Gonchar netted the deciding score early in the third period, as the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied from a three-goal deficit to down the Philadelphia Flyers, 5-3, in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at Wachovia Center. Ruslan Fedotenko and Mark Eaton provided the other tallies for the Penguins, who won the best-of-seven series four games to two and dismissed their cross- state rivals from the playoffs for the second straight season. Marc-Andre Fleury overcame an early Philadelphia burst but recovered to make 22 saves for the win. Mike Knuble, Joffrey Lupul and Danny Briere scored for the Flyers, who netted the game's first three goals but suffered the crushing loss and failed to advance past the first round for the second time in their last three postseason appearances. Following a 28-save shutout win to keep his club alive in Game 5, Martin Biron was tagged for four goals on 34 shots in defeat. |
