Blake's Overtime Winner Sends Hurricanes Past Flyers in Sweep; 8-0 Start Puts Carolina in East Final
On May 9, 2026, the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference second round at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, completing a 4-0 sweep and advancing to the conference final for the second straight year.
Tyson Foerster opened the scoring for Philadelphia before Jackson Blake tied it in the second period. Logan Stankoven's seventh goal of the playoffs put Carolina ahead in the third, Alex Bump tied it again, and at 5:31 of overtime Blake took a Taylor Hall feed and scored the winner, finishing with two goals and an assist. Carolina goaltender Frederik Andersen made 15 saves; Philadelphia's Dan Vladar made 37.
Carolina's 8-0 start to the playoffs is the fifth such start in NHL history and the first since 1985. The Hurricanes allowed only 10 goals in the eight games, and Andersen gave up no more than two goals in any of them, the first goaltender to do so through eight playoff games since Jacques Plante in 1969.
