Hurricanes vs Flyers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line 3-Way Pick
CAR Hurricanes(-105)

The Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers continue their second-round series in the NHL Playoffs. The series shifts to Philadelphia for the next two games, and the Flyers have a ton of work to do. Can they get back into the series with a win, or will Carolina earn a commanding 3-0 series lead? Here is our expert Hurricanes vs. Flyers prediction.

For a brief period in Game 2, it looked like the Flyers may have some legs in this series. However, their 2-0 lead was washed away throughout the game, in an eventual 3-2 overtime loss. Carolina has now won all six of their playoff games, and I expect this to continue, even on the road. Carolina hasn’t needed to score at will, but have ranked near the middle in goals per game and power play. Where their true strength lies is their defensive ability. Carolina has allowed an absurd total of 1.17 goals per game, which is almost an entire goal better than the next team. This has also come with a playoff-best save percentage (.958), and

the third-best penalty kill of 93.8%. They have given a middling-Flyers offense massive headaches thusfar, and will continue to do so on Game 3. Head coach Rod Brind’Amour has this team completely locked, and this balanced attack and mature play has been Carolina’s M.O for years now. It has been a nice run for an overachieving Flyers team, but they do not have the firepower to counteract the Hurricanes’ consistency. For our Hurricanes vs. Flyers prediction, we are siding with Carolina, who should have this wrapped up in regulation.
