Flyers Go For Fourth Straight Win Against Hurricanes
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Flyers will look to pick up where they left off before the NHL All-Star Break as they visit the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.
Philadelphia won three in a row prior to the break and with 56 points (25-19-6) the Flyers are currently holding down the final wildcard playoff berth in the East.
Carolina was going in the opposite direction prior to the break. The Hurricanes have lost five straight and looked pretty bad doing it, getting outscored 23-5 during this stretch.
