The defeat raises questions about the future of the Penguins' veteran core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, who have been teammates since 2006 and are the longest-tenured trio in North American sports history.

Sidney Crosby acknowledged heightened urgency after the Pittsburgh Penguins fell behind the Philadelphia Flyers 0-2 in their first-round playoff series. It's the sixth time in Crosby's career facing an 0-2 series deficit, having rallied twice before in 2009. The Flyers have dominated with strong defense and goaltending, limiting the Penguins to just 15 shots from the inner slot while killing all seven power play opportunities.
