The Hurricanes will look to extend their winning streak to three games and their point streak to four Monday with another matinee in the state of Pennsylvania, this time against a team a bit further down the standings in the Philadelphia Flyers.
This game is a reschedule of the one that was postponed due to COVID issues for the Flyers Jan. 11, even though the Flyers were able to practice with a full lineup that day despite those issues.
