Carolina Hurricanes will face the Philadelphia Flyers in Round 2 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting in Raleigh with Eastern Conference home-ice. The Canes went 3-0-1 against Philly this season, with every game decided in overtime or a shootout, and this marks the first playoff meeting between the Hurricanes (Whalers) and Flyers. The Flyers eliminated the Penguins in six games in Round 1; Round 2 dates will be announced soon and tickets are already on sale.
The Los Angeles Chargers traded the No. 55 pick to the New England Patriots for the No. 63 pick plus Nos. 131 and 202, expanding their draft stock to six selections remaining in the 2026 draft (with picks in Round 3, Round 4, and Round 6).
With three Day 2 picks (Nos. 49, 82, and 97), Minnesota's plan centers on upgrading safety, cornerback, wide receiver, and running back. At 49 the Vikings could target a corner or big-bodied receiver (with Denzel Boston and Chris Brazzell II among likely WR targets) or a safety; remaining corners such as McCoy, Terrell, Hood, and Ponds, and safeties like Stukes and McNeil-Warren, are in play. The 82 and 97 slots are viewed as prime for RB depth or another big WR, with Emmett Johnson, De’Zhaun Stribling, Bryce Lance, and Ted Hurst among options, plus safeties Bud Clark, Kilgore, and Wheatley and corners Davison Igbinosun, Malik Muhammad, Will Lee III, and Abney II also on the board. A late TE like Oscar Delp could surface if value falls; and McShay notes Day 2 RBs may be limited.
After taking Makai Lemon in Round 1, the Eagles’ Round 2 board centers on 15 targets across safety, edge, corner, tight end, and one tackle: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, T.J.
