Penguins Make NHL History with 7-0 Shutout of Flyers in Opener
No team has won their season-opener quite the way the Penguins did on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday night, the Pittsburgh Penguins achieved a historic milestone by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 7-0 in their season opener, marking the largest road shutout in NHL history. The Penguins outscored Philadelphia in every period and outshot them significantly, with Arturs Silovs delivering a stellar performance in goal with a 19-for-19 save record.
The Flyers experienced a boos-filled end to their home opener as they left the ice. Silovs has now recorded two consecutive season opener shutouts, placing him among only three goaltenders in NHL history to achieve this feat.
