Following a shameful 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, things won’t get any easier for the Philadelphia Flyers as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes at the PNC Arena. The Canes enter this contest on quite the roll, winning their last four games, which has allowed them to jump all of the way to third in the Metropolitan Division. Philadelphia, on the other hand, is looking to avoid their fifth straight loss, which would be a season-high for the club.
I could highlight a guy like Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, James van Riemsdyk, or Kevin Hayes, who’ve struggled mightily for the team as of late, but I’m going to keep things on a positive note and make Ivan Provorov my player to watch in this one.
