 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Matt Cullen beat Antero Niittymaki from the right side late in the third period Friday night and Eric Staal had a hat trick as the Carolina Hurricanes rallied again and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 8-6.
Carolina overcame a two-goal deficit for the third straight game to extend the best start in franchise history (7-2-1). Cory Stillman added a third-period goal and assisted on Staal's first-period tally.
The team's previous best start after 10 games was a 6-3-1 opening in 1984 as the Hartford Whalers.
