Canes’ depth and calm goaltending seal another road win

Aho and Svechnikov supply answers while Kochetkov makes the stops that keep Carolina unbeaten away from home

By MA Insights

The Hurricanes won in Philadelphia because answers came from multiple forwards and the goalie made the saves needed.

Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov paced the attack with timely contributions, and secondary scorers pushed plays that turned low-event stretches into goals. On the back end, Pyotr Kochetkov steadied the night with a routine-looking save line and finished with saves that kept Carolina ahead — he did the calm, game-closing work you want on the road.

Philadelphia Flyers struggled to generate sustained high-danger looks, a continuation of a rough stretch where they’ve been outscored and remain score-starved. That made Carolina’s balanced scoring and composed netminding feel consequential: when chances are scarce, putting several lines on the board and getting the saves is the clearest path to road victories. If the Hurricanes keep getting secondary goals and Kochetkov keeps delivering composed stops, their road unbeaten run looks likely to last.
