Canes Blank Flyers in Semifinal Opener

Stankoven, who has scored in five consecutive playoff games, opened the scoring just 91 seconds into the contest by deflecting a point shot from Mike Reilly into the net. Jackson Blake doubled the lead with a highlight-reel goal later in the first period, and Stankoven added his second tally in the second period to secure the win.

Frederik Andersen recorded his second playoff shutout of this year's postseason, while the Hurricanes maintained their perfect playoff record, having yet to trail in any game this postseason. The Flyers will attempt to regroup when the series resumes Monday in Raleigh. biznow.biz
