National TV curse be damned!
It wasn’t the most emphatic of wins, but the Carolina Hurricanes got the job done Saturday afternoon in a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, as a long-lasting struggle with a national broadcast was put to bed for at least one afternoon.
The Canes somewhat played down to the competition Saturday, letting Philadelphia hang around for probably too long despite dominating the possession and scoring chances. After a scoreless first period, Steven Lorentz broke the stalemate in the middle frame before a bad miscue in Carolina’s net from Frederik Andersen let Derick Brassard tie the game.
