Jackson Blake got his first experience in the Stanley Cup Playoffs a year ago. His second go-around in the playoffs has been even better. Blake has been buzzing for the Carolina Hurricanes, who are 6-0 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and hold a 2-0 series lead on the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Flyers played well in Game 2, but still lost anyway. They're learning, but they'll worry about that later. Right now, they have to find a way back into the Carolina series.

The second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs is in full swing. The Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes played Game 2 of their series on Monday, while the Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights began their series.

The Carolina Hurricanes receive a crucial update regarding a key defenseman's concussion status before Game 3 vs. the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Flyers are one win away from advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 14 years. The price to get into Saturday's game in Philadelphia is so high that it mirrors the cost to attend last year's Stanley Cup Finals.

The Flyers advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Rick Tocchet is feeling lucky after a bet with Pat McAfee.

In Stanley Cup odds, the Avalanche (31%) are on top of the board at Kalshi, followed by the Hurricanes (24%). Carolina is also favored to win the East, currently trading at 49%. The Flyers and Hurricanes are the first two Eastern teams to advance to round two. Joining them will be the winners of Sabres vs. Bruins and Lightning vs. Canadiens.
