After Game 4: The Philadelphia Flyers averted elimination from the 2008 NHL playoffs with a 4-goals-2 home-ice victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pittsburgh lead in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1035 is now 3-games-1. When leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a 5-1 series record with a five-series winning streak, and a Game 5 record of 5-1 with a five-Game 5 winning streak. When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Philadelphia Flyers have a 0-12 series record and a 6-6 Game 5 record. Series 1035 is the seventh best-of-7 NHL playoff series in which the winning team has posted four goals in each of Games 1-4. The third such series was series 535, in which the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games in the 1989 NHL Quarterfinals.
After Game 3: With MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1035 in eastern Pennsylvania for Games 3-4, the Pittsburgh Penguins visited and defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-goals-1 to seize a 3-games-nil series 1035 lead.

When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-nil, the Philadelphia Flyers have a 0-5 series record and a 0-5 Game 4 record. The Pittsburgh Penguins have thus started the 2008 NHL playoff season 11-1, the best start since the Detroit Red Wings opened the 1995 NHL playoff season 11-1. With the Pittsburgh victory, both 2008 NHL Semifinals series have begun 3-games-nil. Only twice before - in 1992 and in 1972 - had both best-of-7 NHL Semifinals series begun 3-games-nil. The Philadelphia Flyers thus become the 271st MLB/NBA/NHL team to attempt to surmount a 3-games-nil deficit to attain a 4-games-3 victory in a best-of-7 playoff series.
After Game 2: The Pittsburgh Penguins hosted and defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-goals-2 to take a 2-games-nil lead in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1035.

When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 2-games-nil, the Philadelphia Flyers have a series record of 2-10 and a Game 3 record of 7-5 with a three-Game 3 winning streak. The Pittsburgh Penguins thus extend their Game 2 winning streak to six games upon winning Game 1 of a best-of-7 NHL playoff series. The last best-of-7 NHL playoff series which Pittsburgh lost after winning Games 1-2 is also the last best-of-7 NHL playoff series which Philadelphia won after losing Games 1-2: series 806, in the 2000 NHL Quarterfinals, in which Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh in six games.

In their last six Game 2s after a Game 1 loss, the Philadelphia Flyers have a 5-1 record.
Pre-series assessment: In the 2007-08 regular season, Pittsburgh finished seven points ahead of Philadelphia. From 1939 through the 2008 NHL Quarterfinals round, when NHL teams led their best-of-7 playoff series opponents by seven regular-season points, they have posted a 12-6 (.667) best-of-7 series record in those series against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1035 is the 59th best-of-7 playoff series for Philadelphia, and the 36th for Pittsburgh. In best-of-7 NHL playoff series, Philadelphia has a 33-25 series record, a 7-7 Semifinals-round series record, and a 28-30 Game 1 record, while Pittsburgh has a 20-15 series record, a 2-3 Semifinals-round record, and a 16-19 Game 1 record. Series 1035 is the fourth best-of-7 meeting between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; Philadelphia won the first three. The Pittsburgh Penguins have thus suffered more best-of-7 NHL playoff series defeats at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers than at the hands of any other NHL team.
