Philadelphia Flyers Form

The Flyers have been improving, as they will all season with the young core they have leading their team. It was a wobbly start with 6 straight losses after an opening night win, however, the Flyers have sorting things out a little, mostly on defence and have a recent 3-2-0 record in their past 5 matches.

After conceding an average of 4.42 goals in their opening 7 games of the season, Philadelphia have focused on reducing the scoring chances of their opponents limiting shots on goals bringing down that average to just 2.60 goals against in their past 5 games.

Samuel Ersson has looked more comfortable between the pipes and is the clear number one after a .975 save percentage in Philly’s 2-0 win against Boston and their 2-1 victory over the Blues and also saving 8 from 8 after suffering a minor injury and being replaced by Kolosov against Boston last match.

Philadelphia Flyers Team News

Samuel Ersson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.

Carolina Hurricanes Form

There is no team that has played less than the Carolina Hurricanes who have stepped on the ice just 10 times this season, winning on 8 occasions, including six straight victories.

It is hard to fault anything the Cannes are doing at the moment but their clear strength is definitely on the defensive side of the ice, allowing just 2.30 opposition goals per game. A strong goaltending pairing is important in the longevity of a team through 82 games and Carolina appear to have that with Pyotr Kochetkiv winning 5 of 6 games between the pipes with a 2.51 GAA and a .893 save percentage, while Fredrick Andersson is 3-1 with a 1.48 GAA and a .941 save percentage.

Martin Necas has starting the year as fast as any with 18 points (6 goals + 12 assists) and has been leading a Carolina offence that is ranked 5th in the NHL with a 3.90 goal scoring average.
