The Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from appearing in the Eastern Conference Finals after beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in Game 3. If they win Game 4, it will be back-to-back sweep series wins this postseason.

The Hurricanes struck first, with Jordan Staal scoring his first goal of these playoffs with 2:33 remaining in the first period. Trevor Zegras would get one back for the Flyers to tie the game in the second. However, the Hurricanes’ offense was too much for the Flyers to handle. Jalen Chatfield gave the Hurricanes the lead again late in the second, before Andrei Svechnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers scored in the third to put the game away.

Goalie Frederik Andersen‘s hot streak continued, stopping 18 of 19 shots for a .947 save percentage. So far this postseason, Andersen has finished every game with a .925 save percentage or higher. He also has two shutouts.

Game 4 will be on Saturday, May 9, at 6 p.m. ET.
