I suppose the plus side of opening the season with back-to-back games is that if you lose the first one, you don’t have to wait long to get the nasty taste out of your mouth. That’s what the Flyers face tonight as they return home to Wells Fargo Center for their first home game of…
The Flyers scored first, but watched the Hurricanes storm back (sorry) with three-straight goals in route to a 5-2 win on Saturday afternoon from PNC Arena in Raleigh.
