Penguins Set NHL Record In 7-0 Shutout Of Flyers

It was a historic win, as according to OptaStats on X, it's the largest road shutout in a season opener in NHL history.

Wednesday's game also matched the Penguins' largest margin of victory against the Flyers. Per Bob Grove , the only other time they beat them 7-0 was in 1988.

14 of the Penguins' 18 skates registered at least one point in Wednesday's victory. Goaltender Arturs Silovs also recorded a shutout in his season debut for a second-straight season. He made the saves he needed to make and looked very calm in the crease.
