Philadelphia Flyers vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. I just need to see that Philadelphia can rebound before putting any faith in them because it was clear in game one that Carolina is going to be a whole different challenge compared to whatever resistance the Penguins gave to Philadelphia in game one. The Hurricanes are still loaded from top to bottom and I think Carolina takes the 2-0 lead here. Give me the Canes.
