Hurricanes vs. Flyers: Round Two, Game 3 – Lines, Notes, Goalies, and How to Watch
Kyle Ross-Imagn Images After a thriller of an overtime win Monday night, the Carolina Hurricanes head north to face the Philadelphia Flyers Thursday for Game 3 in Xfinity Mobile Arena. The game is scheduled for 8:00 PM EDT. Game 2 between the Hurricanes and Flyers was one to remember for second-line forward Taylor Hall, who has scored at least one point for the Hurricanes in every game this postseason.
For the first time in his NHL playoff career, he notched a game-winning overtime goal. The outcome was not the easiest to reach, though. Before five minutes had even been played, the Hurricanes were already down two goals.
However, a power play goal from Nikolaj Ehlers in the first period and a Seth Jarvis goal with new linemates Jordan Staal and Ehlers in the third frame were just what they needed to push to the extra frame.

After practice Wednesday, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet announced that Noah Cates would miss the rest of the series against the Hurricanes after sustaining a lower-body injury.
Additionally, Christian Dvorak is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, and the timeline for Owen Tippett’s return remains unclear. In the Crease Both Frederik Andersen and Dan Vladar have been outstanding in their respective postseasons. With an extra day of rest to account for travel, there is little reason to believe there will be a change in net at this time.
