Flyers believe experience can help them climb out of 3-0 hole against Hurricanes

The Philadelphia Flyers face elimination in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET, trailing the series 3-0. The Flyers have struggled with discipline, averaging 28:40 in penalty minutes per game in the series — far above their regular-season average of 9:34 — including nine power plays surrendered in their 4-1 Game 3 loss. Coach Rick Tocchet acknowledged the must-win situation but pointed to the team's resilience this season, having rallied from eight points out of a playoff spot in February before eventually defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round.
