This Is the 28th playoff series of the Crosby/Malkin era of the Penguins Pittsburgh is no stranger to being up 2-1 after the firdt three games of a series,as they have been in such a situation now 15 of those 28 series.
As we also mentioned yesterday in the recap,the Pens are taking advantage of the extra break by leaving Philly as soon as possible.(smart call).They flew back to Pittsburgh last night Both the Pens and Flyers are off from practice today.The pans practice on tuesday and then fly back.
If this was standard schedule,we may have expected Game 4 to be Tuesday night In the case,the Pens players would have been away from home and their families for four straight days and stayed in Philly from last saturday through Game 4 on Tuesday as It stands Now,they get to sleep in their own beds an extra two nights.
They have extra break now and can get ready to play Game 4 on Wednesday night.
