NHL: Flyers win series over Penguins

Claude Giroux wrapped up a dominant series with his sixth goal, Ilya Bryzgalov had his first outstanding effort in net and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 on today to win their Eastern Conference opening-round series in six games. Giroux scored only 32 seconds into the game, and the Flyers rolled from there. In a series where no lead was safe, the Flyers scored the first three goals and made it stand behind stout defense and stellar play out of Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov allowed 20 goals in the first five games. He settled down in Game 6 and gave up only Evgeni Malkin's goal in the second period. The Flyers stormed out to a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series before the Penguins won two straight. The Flyers finished off the 108-point Penguins and wait to find out who they play in the next round.
