The Hurricanes vie for a fifth straight win, while the Flyers hope to end their slump

The Carolina Hurricanes seek their fifth consecutive victory as they face the winless Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night. Carolina enters the rematch following a dominant 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, with goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov confirmed to start in net. Sebastian Aho and Jackson Blake bring five-game point streaks into the matchup as Carolina aims to extend its early-season momentum.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia has dropped six straight games to open the season, most recently falling 5-1 against the Boston Bruins. The Flyers rank last in the NHL in scoring with just seven goals through six games. Goaltender Joseph Woll is set to start in goal for Philadelphia, having posted a .927 save percentage across his first three starts of the year.
