The Philadelphia Flyers are down 2-0 in their series against the Carolina Hurricanes after a 3-2 loss on Monday.
They had taken a 2-0 lead with back-to-back goals in the first period but Carolina responded with three straight goals.
The Flyers' loss was especially tough as they had played better hockey overall in Game 2.
Rick Tocchet, the Flyers' coach, remained proud of his team's resilience.
Tocchet said "We've been dead before, and we've climbed out of the grave" after the game, via Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.
The Flyers are now 43-27, standing 8th in the Eastern Conference, and on a W3 streak, but lost 2-3 vs Carolina Hurricanes on 2026-05-09.
A return home for Game 3 could give the Flyers the spark they need to turn the series around.
The Flyers will host Carolina on Thursday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pa.
And they will look to avoid falling into a 3-0 series hole.
But the team's confidence is at risk after two tough losses.
So the Flyers need to find a way to regain their momentum.
The Flyers had a strong first period, but couldn't sustain their lead.
Taylor Hall's overtime game-winner was the final blow for the Flyers.
The Flyers' goalie had a tough game, allowing three goals.
But Tocchet remains optimistic about his team's chances.
The Flyers will need to play better defense to win Game 3.
And they will need to find a way to score more goals.
The Flyers' offense has been struggling in the series.
But they have the talent to turn it around.
The Flyers' fans will be cheering them on at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
And the team will need their support to win Game 3.
The Flyers are ready to bounce back from their tough loss.
