What - Game 67 (40-22-4)
When - 7 p.m., Saturday, March 15
Where - Wells Fargo Center; Philadelphia, PA
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to sweep the season series against the Philadelphia Flyers (28-31-8) tonight at Wells Fargo Center.
The Canes are winners of their last six games, most recently defeating the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 Friday night.
The Hurricanes are getting contributions up and down the lineup and even despite some key injuries, they're still finding ways to get the job done, especially in goal.
The Flyers are coming off of a 4-3 shootout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night, but before that, they had lost five in a row.
Philadelphia is struggling on both sides of the ice and the loss of a few key pieces at the deadline certainly didn't help anything.
Flyers top scorer Travis Konecny is on a 10-game goal drought and only has two goals in his last 26 games played, however, he is a notorious Canes killer with 10 goals and 22 points in 29 games against.
