    There were two fights, nearly a couple others and nine penalties, and that was only the first 2:35 of play. Obviously, the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins don't like each other.

    What the Penguins dislike most is losing what Flyers forward Daniel Carcillo calls "The Battle of Pennsylvania." At home. To a rookie goalie. For the second time this month.

    Claude Giroux scored short-handed and on a power play and Sergei Bobrovsky made 26 saves to win again in Pittsburgh, leading the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the slumping Penguins on Friday night.

    Kris Letang scored a few minutes after the early nastiness settled down, but the Penguins repeatedly squandered chances after that by going 0-for-6 on the power play. They are 0-for-20 in four games, three of them losses.
