Flyers 4 – Penguins 0: The Philadelphia Flyers (32-29-8, 72 pts) played like a team desperate for points, while the Penguins (43-17-9, 95 pts) played like a team in the last game of a five game, 9-day road trip that covered over 4,700 miles.

After a tight checking first period, Philadelphia took over the game in the second period and controlled play the rest of the way, en route to a 4-0 win. Steve Mason stopped 23 saves for his 33rd career shutout, and improving to 8-5-1 all-time vs the Penguins.

Matt Murray took the loss in stopping 24 shots.
