For the fourth and final time in the 2023-24 regular season, the Pittsburgh Penguins faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon. Minutes into the game, the Flyers struck first on a shot by Travis Sanheim. The Penguins responded. Rickard Rakell shot the puck on net from the point. Bryan Rust tipped the shot and Sidney Crosby collected the rebound and put the puck in the back of the net, tying the game. Following their first goal, Rust scored his fifth goal in seven games. On another shot from the point, this time by Marcus Pettersson, Rust tipped the puck again. This time his redirection of the puck went around the Flyer goaltender to give the Penguins a one-goal lead by the end of the 1st. The Flyers got a quick goal once again to start the 2nd period by Tyson Foerster tying the game at two goals each. The Penguins later received a power-play opportunity in the 2nd. With some precision passing, Erik Karlsson drew the Flyer over to him before dishing the puck into space for Rust to score his second goal of the afternoon. Following up minutes later, and once again on the power-play, Emil Bemstrom collected the puck below the goal line and skated it out in front. With no Flyers challenging him, Bemstrom threw the puck on the net and got his first goal as a Penguin. The Flyers cut the Penguinโs lead in half with a blast off the faceoff by Sanheim for his second of the game. Before the period was over, Philadelphia scored once again on a broken play on a shot by Scott Laughton. The score at the end of the 2nd was tied 4-4. Early in the 3rd, Drew OโConnor snuck a low-angle shot into the net to take the lead again. Minutes later, Crosby passed the puck behind the net to on the other side of the ice. Rickard Rakell quickly stepped over the goal line and roofed the puck to take a 6-4 lead. But just as before, the Flyers answered with a goal by Cam York. Late in the game, Crosby entered the zone and curled back, maintaining possession. Crosby passed to Kris Letang at the point. Letang threw a knuckle puck towards the net that bounced around and found the back of the net. The Flyers scored one more goal before the end of the end of the game. Foster scored on the power play for his second of the game. The final horn couldnโt come fast enough for Pittsburgh. The Penguins won 7-6 in regulation.

Just part ways with jarry ๐๐
Biggest win of the season. Showed tons of heart. Offense came through in a game where Jarry needed them to. All against our biggest rival as well. Be proud of this one.
Sidney crosby saves the penguins from a disastrous performance from Tristan jarry.
Jarry unsuccessful throwing game.
His actions did put dent in trading him off so he won.
Pens more then likely will be stuck with him for entire contract
same ol jarry plays great one game and crappy the next 4
Please start Ned next game
peterson was on his knees more than my wife
Send Smith, Jarry, Graves, and that midget dude from the Caps to the Sun.
THE SUN.
Crosby had 5 points today just for the record.
Barr head is an embarrassment! back to the minors 4 a month or 2, I would take ned any day over jarr-head!! just nick name him Swiss!!
That glove still faulty…
mercy what a game
Reminds me of when weโd play street hockey. โFirst team to ten wins.โ
Iโm sorry but 6 goals on 22 sog ! Pens need a better 1a goalie ! Jarry is not consistent enough to be a starting goaltender! IMHO !
Jarry is horrible.
Set Crosby free… He's been wasting so many years…
Beat a team that didn't have its best player and No. 1 goalie, but, hey, a win is a win is a win.
6 goals on 22 shots smh
There were soooo many points by both sides. They couldn't show all the close shots and other highlights of the game. They could only show the goals to keep the recap within recap time length. Lol.
Wow 2 power play goals! Imagine that!
Whew!
JARRY IS GARBAGE
Great game!!!!
4 game stretch on the road. Lets go Pens.
March of the Pens begins NOW!!!!!
WHY Not US!
Jarry = ๐จโ๐ฆฏ
"gOalTeNdInG iS nOt tHe iSsUe! As the Flyers score right after and Jarry allows 6 goals on 21 shots for a SV% of .714
Have you ever seen the flyers win the cup?
Cardboard cutouts for goalies in both ends!
Crosby = G. O. A. T. ๐
Amazingly fun win…especially since BOTH goalies sucked horribly in the same game !! Pens had SEVEN goals in only 31 shots ( at the moment of scoring number seven ) gotta be one of the better goal/shot ratio games in a LONG time !!
Great Job Jarry stopping 2/3rds of the shots he faced tonight!!!
Some sources say Crosby had 5 points, either way good for him ๐
emotional rollercoaster of a game๐
Great to see Enstrom get one immediately on the PP exactly the way weve all been shouting at them to do. Sooooomeone has to get selfish sometimes know what I mean? Great 2 pts and none for the Flyers exactly the result needed keep it rollin now
was there in person what a game !
Huge win. I love watching Sid own the Flyers franchise.
