Penguins defeat Flyers again (*yawn*) (20-Nov-2006)
The Penguins jump out to an early 2-0 lead and coast to a 5-3 victory over the Flyers in front of 19,349 at Wachovia Center. Pittsburgh has now won all four meetings between the teams this season. John LeClair, Dominic Moore, Ryan Whitney, Sidney Crosby and Sergei Gonchar score for the Pens. Crosby left the game in the second period with a reported sore groin but head coach Michel Therrien said it was merely a precautionary measure.
