Hurricanes, Flyers Meet in Philadelphia to Cap Season Series PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Carolina Hurricanes, riding a surge of late-season momentum, visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena in the final regular-season meeting between the clubs. Carolina (52-28) enters on a high note after a 4-1 road victory over Utah on Saturday, its seventh win in the past nine games. The Hurricanes have solidified their position near the top of the league standings with a potent offense, scoring four or more goals in six of those nine contests. Philadelphia (41-39), officially eliminated from playoff contention, looks to play spoiler and build for next season. The Flyers are coming off a dominant 7-1 win in Winnipeg on Saturday but have been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses in their past six outings. A player to watch for Carolina is veteran center Jordan Staal. He is riding a five-game point streak (two goals, three assists) and is coming off a strong two-point performance (one goal, one assist) against Utah. His physical, two-way play will be central against Philadelphia. The season series has been tightly contested, with Carolina winning all three prior meetings, though two required extra time. The Hurricanes took a 4-3 overtime decision in Philadelphia on Oct. 11, 2025, and swept a home-and-home set in December 2025 by identical 4-3 scores, with one win in overtime and the other in a shootout. Flyers captain Sean Couturier, who had two goals and an assist in the win over Winnipeg, will be tasked with leading a response against the Hurricanes’ deep forward group. In net, Frederik Andersen is expected to start for Carolina after making 26 saves in the victory over Utah. Philadelphia’s goaltender was not confirmed. This game concludes a two-game road trip for Carolina, which visits the New York Islanders on Tuesday. Philadelphia begins a brief homestand, hosting the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. EDT.
