The Carolina Hurricanes are ready to do battle again with the Philadelphia Flyers for game two of round two of the NHL Playoffs. Game time is 7 P.M. tonight at the Lenovo Center.
So far in these playoffs the Hurricanes have been at the top of their game regarding puck possession and shot suppression. They have yet to trail at any point in a game this postseason.
The scary part is, they can still be better.
While Logan Stankoven, (points in 13 straight games), Taylor Hall, (leads team in postseason scoring
with 8 points in five games), and Jackson Blake tearing it up, the other lines are ready to break through as well.
The penalty kill is almost flawless, but the powerplay needs to improve.
Walt Ruff is reporting from the morning skate. Fred Andersen is in the starter’s net.
I expect Nikishin to be a game time decision based upon how he feels. The lines are the same as in game one.
How will the Flyers regroup?
The game will be televised by ESPN. Our friends, Mike Maniscalco, Tripp Tracy, and Shane Willis will be on 99.9 The Fan with the play-by-play and analysis.
