Carolina’s patient formula fuels Round 2 showdown with the Flyers
Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky says the team blends aggression with patience, letting injuries and roster transitions play out while relying on Slavin’s return and solid goaltending from Andersen (with Bussi/Kochetkov as backups) to advance past the Senators. The ball moved through rookies like Legault and Nystrom and the Stankoven center move, allowing Carolina to stay competitive and set up a second-round series against the fast, young Flyers, where continued patience and exploiting matchups will be critical.
