The Flyers opened the current four-game homestand with a win over the Minnesota Wild to bring their season record to 4-2-1. A loss on Saturday where the team allowed seven goals to the Anaheim Ducks showed that there could be signs of mistakes catching up to the team. Perhaps a storm is starting to brew with the month of November nearly upon us.
That brings us to Monday’s opponent. The Carolina Hurricanes started the season off a bit slow, but have rebounded to win their last two games as they enter Philadelphia.
Game time is 7 p.m.
