After winning three straight games at one point, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves losers of their last two games. During this time, the Flyers have given up 10 goals to their opponents, including their second straight game to where they allowed five goals to the Montreal Canadiens in their last outing.
On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Pirates had won four of five games before their matchup with the San Jose Sharks at home. Unfortunately, the Penguins were shut out in this contest as they finished with just 26 shots on goal for the night.

On the other hand, the San Jose Sharks had 33 shots on goal on the night as they obtained two power-play goals from Tomas Herti in the contest. Also, Brent Burns scored on a power-play goal in the final period in addition to Evander Kane posting a score as well for San Jose in the win.
Their lack of offense was certainly uncharacteristic for a Pittsburgh team that ranks in the top 10 within the league as it relates to goals scored per outing along with shots on goal per game. Nonetheless, the Penguins find themselves within third place in the Metropolitan standings as they are being heavily pursued by the Columbus Blue Jackets along with the Carolina Hurricanes.
