Philadelphia Flyers fans may be in for a surprise as Game 2 against the Carolina Hurricanes approaches. Center Sean Couturier, who suffered a lower-body injury in Game 1, could be replaced by Nicolas Barbone in the starting lineup. Barbone, a relatively unknown prospect, has been making waves with his impressive performance in the Flyers' minor league affiliate. If he does indeed start at center, it would be a significant move for the Flyers, who are looking to bounce back from a tough loss in Game 1.
