Known as the “Battle of Pennsylvania,” this rivalry between the Flyers and Penguins is one of the NHL’s most intense. It began in 1967 when both teams entered the league in the expansion era. The rivalry has been marked by physical games, high-stakes playoff matchups, and strong animosity between players and fans.

Notable incidents include Ron Hextall’s aggressive behavior towards Devils players in 1987, which played a significant role in shaping the rivalry’s fierce nature.
