Canes Take 1-0 Lead Over Flyers in Playoffs

The Carolina Hurricanes dominated Game 1 against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 3-0 shutout, extending their playoff winning streak to five games. Philadelphia struggled to generate offense, managing just nine shots through two periods and going 0-for-4 on power plays.

Flyers coach Rick Tocchet acknowledged his team needs to adjust quickly to Carolina's style. "You can't have three or four games like that," Tocchet said. "You've got to figure it out quickly." The Flyers were also without regular-season goals leader Owen Tippett, who is day to day with an unspecified injury. macnevers-and-co.beer
