Takes Tough Loss in Game 1 After Allowing Late Third-Period Goals

Stuart Skinner patrolled the home crease for the Pittsburgh Penguins in their Game 1 matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers but ultimately suffered a 3-2 defeat. After being confirmed as the starter by Michelle Crechiolo, Skinner surrendered a go-ahead goal to Travis Sanheim midway through the third period and a late insurance wrist shot to Porter Martone with just 2:37 remaining. Despite the loss, Skinner remains the primary option in net as the Penguins look to even the series.
