Canes push Flyers to the edge with 4-1 win in Game 3


The Canes are one win away from the Eastern Conference finals after a 4-1 win over the Flyers in Philadelphia. Jordan Staal had a power play goal and set up Jalen Chatfield's 2nd period shorthanded marker as the Canes used their special teams prowess and rod the continued play of Frederik Andersen to a 3-0 series lead. Andersen's best work was done early as Philadelphia had chances to take the lead in the first 5 minutes. But, saves on Travis Konecny and Alex Bump plus some help from the post kept the game scoreless until late in the opening period when Staal shoveled in a rebound off the end boards on the power play. The Canes never trailed in the game -- the 6th time in 7 games that's happened -- and extended the lead in the 3rd period through Andrei Svechnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers. Andersen made 18 saves and is now 7-0 with a 1.02 GAA/.957 SV%
