It seems like the Flyers are a second-period team now.
OK, so there’s probably more to it than that. But the Flyers picked up their second win of the young 2016-17 NHL campaign on Saturday night in Philadelphia by a score of 6-3 over the Carolina Hurricanes, and much like their first win in Los Angeles, the victory came on the back of a strong second period in which the guys in orange lit the lamp four different times.
After a week of slow starts of games to open the season, the Flyers actually managed to piece together a solid first 10 minutes of the game, as Carolina was forced to spend most of its time on its heels in the defensive zone as the Flyers had a couple of near-misses.
