Penguins stave off elimination in Game 5 as postgame brawl erupts after late hit on Sidney Crosby

The Pittsburgh Penguins staved off elimination for the second straight game with a clutch Game 5 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night, but celebrations were briefly halted when a skirmish erupted over a controversial hit on Sidney Crosby after the final buzzer.

Flyers forward Travis Konecny found himself at the center of the scrum — and the controversy — after he appeared to cross-check Sidney Crosby after the game ended, marking the second incident involving Konecny this series to draw criticism.
