The Carolina Hurricanes remain undefeated two games into their 2025–26 season. On Oct. 11, they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4–3 in overtime. The Flyers, on the other hand, are still searching for win No. 1 on the new campaign.
Game Recap
The Flyers didn’t register a shot on goal until the midway point of the opening frame, but they notched the game’s first tally anyway. With 22 seconds left, Owen Tippett capitalized on a strange bounce while on the man advantage. The assists came from Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras—their first points of the season, meaning it was also Zegras’ first point as a Flyer.
The Hurricanes responded at the 3:46 mark of the second period, however. Defenseman Alexander Nikishin threw a pass up the ice to Logan Stankoven, who delayed and set up Jackson Blake. His shot hit goaltender Samuel Ersson, but came right back to Stankoven for a slam-dunk goal. At an average age of 22.67, the youngster-only trio came through.
