The Carolina Hurricanes are rolling in the NHL playoffs. Next is another lengthy between-rounds rest

The Carolina Hurricanes have secured their long-sought shot at breaking through a familiar roadblock in the Eastern Conference final. Now the Hurricanes — the only undefeated team left in the NHL playoffs — are set for another a lengthy wait to get started in the third round. Carolina beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime on Saturday night, becoming the first team to sweep through the first two rounds since the league went to best-of-seven series in all four rounds in 1987.
