When - 7 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 11
Where - Xfinity Mobile Arena; Philadelphia, PA
How to Watch - Hurricanes Hockey Network, NBC Sports Philadelphia, NHL Network, Sportsnet+, TVAS

The Carolina Hurricanes are looking for their fifth win in a row as they make yet another trip to Xfinity Mobile Arena to take on the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Canes, winners of four straight, are coming off of a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night and so tonight's game will be on the second half of a back-to-back.

The expectation is for Pyotr Kochetkov to get the net on Sunday, with no other lineup changes expected.

It'll be the same case for the Flyers too though, who played in Boston the day before, losing 5-1 to the Bruins.

The Flyers are winless so far through six games, having scored a total of just seven goals on the season.

They've scored just a single goal in three straight games and things feel like they aren't going to get better anytime soon for the young team.

Streaks

Sebastian Aho (5g, 4a) Jackson Blake (1g, 6a) have points in five straight games.
Taylor Hall (3g, 2a) and Mark Jankowski (3g, 1a) have points in three straight games.
Logan Stankoven (3g, 1a), K'Andre Miller (1g, 1a) and Jesperi Kotkaniemi (2a) have points in back-to-back games,

Milestone Watch

Jordan Staal is one point away from 500 points as a Hurricane and two goals away from 200 as a Hurricane.
Jordan Martinook is one point shy of 200 points as a Hurricane.
