The odds will be stacked against the Philadelphia Flyers, as they bid to keep alive their slim hopes of progression in the NHL Playoffs on Thursday. Philadelphia will likely need to win both of their home games against Carolina, but that looks like a major challenge against a team that are yet to suffer defeat in the postseason.
The Flyers produced a competitive display in Game 2, but they were agonizingly beaten in overtime by the Canes. Jamie Drysdale and Sean Couturier scored the goals in the eventual defeat at PNC Arena.

- Road Record: 24-12-5
It has been a dominant postseason for the Carolina Hurricanes, and they are within two victories of a spot in the next round of the playoffs. Their form has been red-hot since the end of the regular season, winning all six of their postseason games.
They were forced to raise their level in Game 2, but they still overcame the Flyers to win in overtime. Jackson Blake was in excellent form earlier this week, ending the victory with two assists.
Philadelphia Flyers vs. Carolina Hurricanes Picks
This is a must-win game for the Flyers, but it is hard to foresee them ending the dominance enjoyed by the Canes in the postseason. Therefore, the away win looks like the logical angle worth following.
