The Hurricanes took Game 1 in their second round series against the Flyers, 3-0, at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, N.C.
The Hurricanes got early first period goals from Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake, putting up 12 of their 23 shots. Stankoven scored another in the second period — his sixth of the playoffs — while the Canes limited the Flyers to nine shots through the first 40 minutes. The Flyers got to their game a bit in the third period, but Frederik Andersen was equal to each of their 10 shots.
My take: I'm curious to see if the third-period Flyers show up earlier in Game 2. Could be an interesting series then. If not, they are toast.
