NHL Playoffs: Hurricanes Sweep Flyers, Make History in OT Win

The Carolina Hurricanes swept the Philadelphia Flyers in Round Two of the 2026 NHL Playoffs with a 3-2 overtime victory on May 10, 2026, becoming the first team since the 1987 Edmonton Oilers to win their first eight postseason games. The Flyers drew first blood through Tyson Foerster's first career playoff goal, assisted by Trevor Zegras and rookie Porter Martone, but the Hurricanes fought back to clinch the series. Carolina's historic 8-0 postseason start places them in elite company alongside the Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier-led Oilers dynasty.
