Canes blank Flyers, take 1-0 series lead

Logan Stankoven scored twice and Frederik Andersen made 19 saves for his second playoff shutout as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Jackson Blake added a goal and an assist while Mike Reilly collected two assists for the Hurricanes, who are yet to trail in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Flyers, who received 20 saves from Dan Vladar, will attempt to regroup when the series resumes Monday in Raleigh. Stankoven, who scored the game's opening goal just 91 seconds in, became the youngest player in NHL history to score in five consecutive playoff games to start a career. chickenroad-game.rodeo
