What - Game 3 (2-0) When - 8 p.m., Thursday, May 7 Where - Xfinity Mobile Arena; Philadelphia, PA How to Watch - TNT, truTV, HBO MAX, CBC, Sportsnet, TVAS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Carolina Hurricanes are still perfect in the postseason, but they'll have their work cut out for them tonight as their series against the Philadelphia Flyers shifts to their home ice. Carolina found a way in a gritty Game 2, as Taylor Hall scored the eventual OT winner. It was a good win for the Canes as they had to overcome some early adversity (namely their first time trailing all postseason). They even found a way to win with Logan Stankoven actually not scoring a goal for once. Seth Jarvis and Nikolaj Ehlers each grabbed their first of the playoffs and hopefully it can be a springboard for those guys to get going even more. Once again, Frederik Andersen had a solid game and the Hurricanes are going to need that once again tonight in Philly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STREAKS * Taylor Hall (3g, 6a) has points in every game of the postseason so far (6 games). * Seth Jarvis (1g, 3a) has points in three straight games. * Jackson Blake (1g, 3a) has points in back-to-back games.
