In a bid to avoid becoming the latest victims of a first-round sweep, the Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators are gearing up for crucial matchups against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers, who have struggled to contain the Hurricanes' high-powered offense, will need to find a way to shut down the likes of Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov if they hope to stay in the series. Meanwhile, the Senators, who have managed to stay competitive despite being down 3-0, will look to draw on every last ounce of energy to try and pull off one of the greatest comebacks in NHL history. With the series on the brink of elimination, both teams will be desperate to send the game back to the other team's rink.
