Sebastian Aho and Jalen Chatfield each grabbed two points, Pyotr Kochetkov stayed solid in net, and the Carolina Hurricanes shook off a sluggish two periods to hammer the Philadelphia Flyers in the third period to win 4-1. The win moved the Canes into first place in both the Metro Division and the Eastern Conference.
Games against John Tortorella teams have always been rough for this squad. First when Torts was coaching Columbus and then with the move to Philly, his grinding style matched up against the intense style of the Canes seems to create some odd results. That was certainly the case through the first couple of periods.
