PHILADELPHIA -Braydon Coburn scored twice and Scott Hartnell and Matthew Carle each had a goal and two assists to help the Philadelphia Flyers snap a two game losing streak and send the Carolina Hurricanes to their eighth straight loss, 6-1 on Saturday.
David Laliberte, playing in his first NHL game, and James Van Riemsdyk each had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, unbeaten in their last six regulation games at home against Carolina.
Brandon Sutter scored for the Hurricanes (2-7-3), who are off to their worst start since 1997 — the franchise's first season in Carolina — when they were 2-7-2. Carolina is winless on the road (0-5-2). The Hurricanes are on an 0-5-3 skid overall.
