The host Philadelphia Flyers have a rematch with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. The Flyers edged the Penguins on on Saturday.

For their second Keystone State Rivalry showdown in as many games, the Philadelphia Flyers (12-10-2) face the Pittsburgh Penguins (11-10-2) at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday at 7 p.m..

The Flyers have their morning skate at 10:30 a.m. at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, N.J.

Philadelphia is now 2-2-1 in their last five games, thanks to their huge 4-3 shootout win Saturday at Pittsburgh. With Scott Laughton’s short-handed goal, the team is now tied for first in the NHL in shorties with six.

Tyson Foerster has three goals and two assists in his last three games, and is currently on a three-game point streak. The 21-year-old winger has scored multiple points in two consecutive games, and is up to nine points in 23 games this season.
