Hartnell and Matt Carle scored power-play goals

Hartnell and Matt Carle scored power-play goals in the first period for Philadelphia, but the Flyers failed to close out Pittsburgh for the second straight game. Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 20 shots, playing much steadier two days after getting yanked in the second period of a 10-3 loss in Game 4.

Staal had a hat trick in the rout, but his goal Friday might have been more important. The Flyers had the lead and momentum when Staal beat Bryzgalov over the glove 6:15 into the second period to tie it and give the Penguins an energy boost in front of the largest crowd in the Consol Energy Center's brief history.

Maddon let Hellickson try for the complete game

Both Molina and Peña were impressed with Hellickson's poise.

"Just ice cold," Peña said. "I'm looking at him on the bench and I'm like, 'Are you alive buddy? Are you OK there?' You just leave him alone. I like that. I like the fact he's able to keep himself under control despite the situation, despite the stage. I think that makes him so good because he's able to do that."

Hellickson did such a good job keeping the Yankees' bats at bay that the only question was whether he could finish the job.

Maddon let Hellickson try for the complete game but called for Fernando Rodney after Hellickson walked Swisher with two outs in the ninth on his 118th pitch.
