PHILADELPHIA — The Flyers had been in that hole before, down 2-0 early in their Saturday night matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes at the Wells Fargo Center.

Earlier this season, the Flyers erased the same deficit against the Vancouver Canucks and the Tampa Bay Lightning to rally to victory. But while the Flyers scored three straight in the second and third periods to pull ahead, the Hurricanes answered for a 4-3 overtime win. Defenseman Brent Burns scored the overtime winner.

While their games haven’t all been pretty, with the Flyers spending most of their time defending, they showcased a more balanced offensive effort against the Hurricanes. Through 60 minutes, the Hurricanes narrowly led the Flyers in shots, 32-27.
