Philadelphia (10-6-4) at Carolina (11-9-2), 7:00 p.m. EST
RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Flyers aim
for their sixth straight win when they visit the Carolina
Hurricanes on Wednesday.
After a disastrous 0-3-3 start, Philadelphia has turned things
around - thanks to the highest-scoring offense in the Eastern
Conference.
Philadelphia has tallied 17 goals during its winning streak an
average of 3.42 goals per game.
Mike Knuble scored twice, including the game-winner with 5:08
remaining as the Flyers recorded a 4-3 victory over the Dallas
Stars on Monday. Jeff Carter tallied for the third straight
game and is tied for the league lead with Buffalo's Thomas Vanek
with 15 goals.
Carolina has dropped two straight, including Monday's 3-2
setback to Florida. Right wing Chad LaRose has scored in two
straight games after failing to register a point in eight
consecutive contests.
The Flyers, who will host the Hurricanes on Friday, last won six
in a row from October 30-November 12, 2005.
