Pittsburgh took all three periods and shut Philadelphia out 7-0 in regulation, scoring in every frame and never letting the Flyers into the game. The Penguins built it 0-2 after twenty minutes, 0-5 after forty, and added two more late.
Nicholas Robertson opened it in the eighth minute off a Kris Letang feed, and Ville Koivunen made it 0-2 at 16. The middle period was the break point: Evgeni Malkin at 26, Hendrix Lapierre at 28 and Filip Hallander at 31 turned it into 0-5 inside six minutes, and Robertson's second at 52 plus Yegor Chinakhov's goal at 57 closed it out.
Robertson finished with two goals, and Hallander had a goal and the assist on the sixth. Kaedan Korczak assisted twice, on Koivunen's and Hallander's goals; Erik Karlsson set up the last one.
