Canes broom out Flyers, 3-2, in overtime

The Canes became the first modern NHL team to sweep each of their first two playoff series as Jackson Blake sent his team into the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season with a 3-2 win over the Flyers in overtime. Carolina trailed 1-0 entering the second period, but Blake's first of the night got them even. Logan Stankoven's 7th of the playoffs gave the Hurricanes the lead, but they would need overtime to seal the deal. At 5:31, Blake took a pass from Taylor Hall (3 assists) and his shot carried off of Dan Vladar's glove and into the bottom of the net for the win. It was the 6th time the Hurricanes have ended a series in overtime in Rod Brind'Amour's coaching career. They are 6-0 in overtime close out situations.
