Run It Back; Flyers Game 22 vs Hurricanes: Lines, Notes, How to Watch

After taking revenge for their first loss on Oct. 30, the Philadelphia Flyers (11-9-1) host the Carolina Hurricanes (12-8-0) at 7:30 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers will have a morning skate at 10:30 am at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, NJ.

Philadelphia snapped a two-game losing streak with a frenetic shootout win over the New York Islanders on Saturday. In the win, the Flyers recorded 40 or more shots on goal for the fourth time this season. The Hurricanes have done so six times.

Following Sam Ersson’s strong outing against the Islanders, it is expected that Carter Hart starts against the Hurricanes.

Flyers Preview

The Philadelphia Flyers are 1-3-1 in their last five against the Hurricanes, though that win came on Nov. 15.

Per Moneypuck, Antti Raanta has been the fourth-worst goalie in the league with a -6.9 goals saved above expected. Pyotr Kochetkov is the 16th-worst with a mark of -4.0.

Raanta has been especially cold lately, so it’s likely Kochetkov mans the crease again.
