Hurricanes edge Flyers, sweep home-and-home in shootout

Hall made it 2-0 at 15:53, redirecting Alexander Nikishin‘s one-timer between his legs for a power-play goal.

“I thought we had a really good two periods, we just didn’t get enough lead,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “I thought in the third period especially, [Bussi] made countless timely saves, and obviously in the shootout. That’s pretty impressive.”

Drysdale cut it to 2-1 at 19:07 of the first when his shot from the left point deflected in off the shaft of Carrier’s stick.

“This team never gives up,” Drysdale said. “Down one or two, we know we always have a fighting chance. We come in the room, we chat, we talk through it. We know we can be better.”

Philadelphia tied it 2-2 at 18:08 of the third period. Travis Konecny drew Bussi out to the left post before passing across the slot to Zegras, who one-timed a shot into the open net from the right circle.

“It’s a tough back-to-back, having a 5 p.m. game,” Zegras said. “I think (the key) was just finding the groove.”
