Flyers-Hurricanes Game 1: Lines, Notes, & How to Watch

Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs kicks off on Saturday when the Philadelphia Flyers (0-0, 4-2) take on the Carolina Hurricanes (0-0, 4-0) at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Hurricanes make quick work of the Ottawa Senators, sweeping them in 4 games. However, quick work was not easy work.

Each game was decided by two or fewer goals. Two of them were decided by one goal, one was a one-goal game before an empty-netter, and of course, the Hurricanes won Game 1 2-0 after the controversial no-goal call on Drake Batherson’s would-be goal for the Senators. The Flyers took 6 games to put their bitter rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins, away in an emotional series.

Games 1, 2, and 3 were a defensive clinic by the Flyers, coupled with opportunistic scoring. That went missing for the next 3 games, but the Flyers came through with the Game 6 overtime winner. Puck drop is at 8:00 p.

m. EST at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh. Here is how the Flyers are expected to line up.
