Logan Stankoven has been one of the stars of the NHL playoffs, recording seven points and 23 shots on goal through five games for Carolina.

My Flyers vs. Hurricanes predictions see Stankoven having another productive outing vs. Philadelphia in Game 2.

Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Monday, May 4, and don't miss puck drop at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

  • UPDATE: Added a prediction for who will win tonight.

Flyers vs Hurricanes Game 2 prediction

Who will win Flyers vs Hurricanes Game 2?

Hurricanes: The Carolina Hurricanes completely blanketed the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1, holding them to just 19 shots and four high-danger chances. With home ice advantage and the ability to control matchups, Carolina should be able to grab an early yet commanding 2-0 series lead.

Flyers vs Hurricanes best bet: Logan Stankoven Over 2.5 shots on goal (-125)

Logan Stankoven has turned it up a couple of notches in the playoffs. He's averaged 4.6 shots on goal while clearing this line in all five games. Stankoven had at least four shots in four of five, often getting the job done with room to spare.

He’s been even more productive on home soil, producing 5.3 shots on 7.7 attempts through three games in Carolina.

What’s especially impressive is that the bulk of his games came against Ottawa, an even stingier shot suppression team than Philadelphia.

There’s no reason to expect a dip in Game 2.

Flyers vs Hurricanes Game 2 same-game parlay

Stankoven has points in all five playoff games thus far, including multi-point efforts in two of three home dates. He's getting easier matchups on home soil and, clearly, taking advantage of it.

Taylor Hall is a natural fit to round out the parlay. He has eight points through five playoff games and is attached to the hip of Stankoven, playing together at both 5-on-5 and on the man advantage.

Nobody has come up with an answer for this duo.

Flyers vs Hurricanes SGP

  • Logan Stankoven Over 2.5 shots on goal
  • Logan Stankoven Over 0.5 points
  • Taylor Hall Over 0.5 points

Flyers vs Hurricanes Game 2 goal scorer pick

Andrei Svechnikov (+175)

Andrei Svechknikov has generated 32 shot attempts, 20 scoring chances, and 2.46 through five playoff games but is yet to find the back of the net. 

He shot 15% during the regular season and converted 28 xG into 31 goals so this drought shouldn’t last much longer.

Flyers vs Hurricanes odds for Game 2

  • Moneyline: Flyers +215 | Hurricanes -265
  • Puck Line: Flyers +1.5 (-122) | Hurricanes -1.5 (-104)
  • Over/Under: Over 5.5 (+106) | Under 5.5 (-130)
