Saturday, the Carolina Hurricanes<\/a> open the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as they welcome the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> into Lenovo Center. Interestingly, the match comes before Round One has even reached a conclusion, as the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> and Montreal Canadiens<\/a> will require a Game 7 on Sunday to settle their series.<\/p>\n

Game 1 between the Hurricanes and Flyers is scheduled for 8:00 PM EDT.<\/p>\n

In the Hurricanes\u2019 first-round series, they swept the Ottawa Senators<\/a> in four games with dominant play from their second line, consisting of Logan Stankoven<\/a>, Jackson Blake<\/a>, and Taylor Hall<\/a>. At least one of those three players factored into seven of the Hurricanes\u2019 eleven goals of the series.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Flyers did not fail to impress in their return to the postseason after a five-year absence. In their first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, they took a commanding three-to-nothing lead against their neighbors to the west before vanquishing them in overtime during Game 6.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes Game Notes<\/p>\n

During practice Friday morning, both Frederik Andersen and William Carrier were absent \u2013 but it was later stated by Rod Brind\u2019Amour to have just been a rest day for them both. Additionally, both Alexander Nikishin and Nikolaj Ehlers took full practices.<\/p>\n

All four games between the Hurricanes and Flyers in the regular season went to overtime, with three going into the shootout. Interestingly, the first game the Flyers won against the Hurricanes in the season was the same one that clinched their spot in the playoffs on April 13th.<\/p>\n

Following the conclusion of the Hurricanes\u2019 first-round series, the broadcasts moved to national-only, just as every team does. However, Hurricanes play-by-play Mike Maniscalco and analyst Tripp Tracy will still call games, just on the team\u2019s radio partner, 99.9 The Fan.<\/p>\n
