Carolina Hurricanes @ Philadelphia Flyers (Round 2, Game 2)
Carolina leads series 3-0

This was another fairly dominant performance by the Hurricanes. They limited the Flyers to only 19 shots, and Frederik Andersen continued his great play by only allowing one goal. Andrei Svechnikov, who had been quiet offensively, factored in on two of Carolina’s goals, earning a primary assist and a goal for himself. From the blueline, Shayne Gostisbehere also broke out by factoring in on both goals with Svechnikov. The frustration is clearly boiling over for the Flyers, who took 15 penalties in this game, including two for Drysdale and three each for Dvorak and Konecny. Konecny took a game misconduct as one of his three. It’s clear we’ve seen the best from the Flyers, and they’re outmatched by a superior team.
