Carolina Hurricanes vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction 

Carolina comes into this matchup after winning eight of their first ten games of the season and they will have the home-ice advantage. Carolina has scored at least four goals in four straight games and they are only allowing 2.30 goals against per game. Philadelphia is 2-3-1 on the road this year and they have scored two goals or fewer in three straight. I think this is a very rough matchup for the Flyers, plus they are dealing with an injury to Ersson, so give me the Hurricanes -1.5 here.
