About this episode

The Canes secured a 2-0 series lead with a 3-2 overtime victory against the Flyers, highlighted by key goals from Ehlers, Jarvis, and Hall.

For the first time this playoff season the Canes found themselves trailing.  Phildelphia scored twice in a 39 span early in the 1st period to jump out to a 2-0 lead.  But, Nikolaj Ehlers and Seth Jarvis each scored their first goals of the postseason and Taylor Hall continued his torrid stretch with a goal at 18:54 of overtime to give the Hurricanes the win and a 2-0 series lead heading to Game 3 on Thursday in Philadelphia.  Ehlers' goal came on the power play in the first period and cut the Philly lead in half.  Jarvis' came in the middle of the 3rd and got Carolina even at 2-2.  Frederik Andersen made 34 saves including the last 33 after the Flyers scored on 2 of their first 3 shots.  Andersen has won all 6 of his playoff starts with a 1.02 goals against average and a .958 save percentage.  Hall's 3rd goal gives him 9 points this playoff year the most he's had in a single postseason in his career.  Jackson Blake had a couple of helpers to up his total to 8 points so far.
