Flyers look to avoid sweep as they host Hurricanes in Game 4 of second round originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
VOORHEES, N.J. — The Flyers felt like they played a lot of must-win games down the stretch of the regular season.
Now they face the truest must-win scenario — an elimination game in the playoffs.
On Saturday night, the Flyers host the Hurricanes in Game 4 of this best-of-seven second-round series. Rick Tocchet’s club could not solve the Eastern Conference’s top seed through the first three games.
In fact, Carolina has yet to lose in these playoffs, going 7-0 and surrendering just eight goals.
The Flyers will try to change that.
Coverage begins at 5:30 p.m. ET with Flyers Pregame Live on NBC Sports Philadelphia+. Puck drop is scheduled for around 6 p.m. ET on TNT. Flyers Postgame Live will follow immediately after the game on NBCSP+.
