Sidney Crosby and Marian Hossa also scored and Jordan Staal added an empty-net goal in the final minute as Pittsburgh came back to win after twice squandering one-goal leads. Pittsburgh won the first two games at home for the third consecutive series, with Game 3 set for Tuesday in Philadelphia. The Flyers won each of their first two playoff rounds after losing Game 1, but this is the first time they also lost Game 2 on the road. Crosby’s power-play goal was just his third in 5 ½ months.
