Rick Tocchet’s Philadelphia Flyers find themselves in an 0-3 hole in their Easter Conference Semifinal series against the Carolina Hurricanes. On Saturday, they take on the Carolina Hurricanes in Game Four at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
In the penalty-filled third game of the series, the Flyers lost 4-1. Special teams were the deciding factor. The Hurricanes scored two power play goals plus a shorthanded goal that turned a 1-1 tie into a 2-1 Carolina lead in the latter stages of the second period. The Flyers found themselves shorthanded nine times in the game (11:57 of game clock time).
Scoring on a delayed Carolina penalty, Trevor Zegras (2nd goal of the playoffs) notched the lone tally of the game for the Flyers. Through the first 35-plus minutes, the game looked winnable for Philadelphia. The shorthanded goal by Jalen Chatfield and the parade of penalties that followed turned the very competitive game into a comfortable win for the Hurricanes.

Injury updates
The Flyers had an optional morning skate at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday. Here are the latest injury updates.
- Noah Cates (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the series. The two-way forward needed assistance to get back to the locker room in Game Two.
- Owen Tippett (lower body) practiced on Wednesday but mostly on his own. He skated on Thursday. The bad news: He’s not yet physically ready to play and remains out for Game Four, too.

50th Anniversary: Cold War in Philly
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Flyers victory over the seemingly unbeatable Red Army (CSKA) team at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Filmmaker Joe Amodei (Virgil Films), painstakingly retraced the historic game and its deeper political and societal implications in his new documentary entitled Cold War in Philly.
On May 27, the exclusive world premiere of the documentary will be held at the Suzanne Roberts Theater in Philadelphia. Most of the surviving Flyers alumni who played in the game will be on hand for a reunion gathering and Q&A session. Thereafter, there will be other showings at select theaters in the Delaware Valley. For ticket information, click here.
Hockey Hot Stove will have more detailed nfo to come in the weeks leading up to the premiere.
