VOORHEES, N.J. (AP) -- The Philadelphia Flyers have a 3-2 series lead and home ice for Game 6.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have the two-game winning streak and all the confidence in the world after rallying against the Flyers when the series appeared over.

Win on Sunday and the Penguins would force Game 7 on Tuesday at Pittsburgh.

The Penguins made it a series even with captain Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin pointless in Game 5. Jordan Staal continues to shine as Pittsburgh's most consistent scorer and followed a Game 4 hat trick with a tying goal in Game 5.

Claude Giroux says the Flyers are "jacked up" for Game 6 and ready to close the series at home.
