The Hurricanes lead the series 2-0 after outlasting the Flyers in overtime.

Philadelphia jumped out to a quick lead after first-period goals from Jamie Drysdale and Sean Couturier within a minute of each other.

Carolina managed to cut the lead to just one before both offenses went stagnant in the second period.

Time was ticking for Carolina to avoid a Game 1 loss, but Seth Jarvis came through with a late goal to tie things up. His goal eventually sent things into overtime.

It appeared one overtime period wasn't going to be enough, but Taylor Hall delivered the game-winning goal with just over a minute remaining.

Philadelphia will look to avoid a dreaded 3-0 deficit in Game 3.
