Sean Walker started the rush then passed off to Hall, who took the puck to the net. He was initially stopped and taken to his knees but Jackson Blake was battling and kept the puck alive then Hall was able to get his stick on it to bang it home.

It was not the prettiest game in the world as a total of 15 penalties were called, eight for Carolina and seven for the Flyers. Each team was able to score one powerplay goal.

The Flyers got off to a quick start when they scored on the first powerplay of the game just four minutes into the opening period. Then just 39 second later, they made the score 2-0 when they scrambled in front of the net on a loose puck that eventually got by goalie Frederik Andersen.

After that goal, Andersen had a perfect game and made several key stops especially in OT when the Flyers outshot the Canes 15-8.

The Hurricanes did not look their best in this one but got on the board themselves when Nikolaj Ehlers blasted in a shot off a nice pass from Blake, who earned two assists in the game. The goal was a powerplay tally scored at about the 10 minute mark of the first period.

After a scoreless second period Brind’Amour mixed the lines up a bit and had Seth Jarvis and Jordan Martinook switch lines.

Jarvis took advantage of the switch immediately as he buried a pass from Ehlers to tie the score. After the game he said that he enjoyed playing with Staal and Ehlers and felt comfortable there.

After the game, Brind’Amour gave credit to assistant coach, Jeff Daniels for the change up. He told me “it’s time” so I made the move.

The Flyers had the advantage in overtime but again, Andersen was equal to the task until the Hall game-winner. After the game, Hall said that he knew he was not having his best game but tried extra hard to contribute in some way and was thrilled to be able to do so.

Eric Robinson had a team high six shots on goal and was second with eight hits in his 11:59 of ice time. He had a couple of open breakaways but was unable to solve Dan Vladar, who also played well.

William Carrier had a team high 12 hits. In all, both teams had a total of 48.

Next up, the Canes will travel to Philadelphia for game three on Thursday night.

Steven Adams on his reputation as the strongest in the NBA: “I don't know who's voting...It didn't help me because the referees believed this too, so then I get cracked a lot and they're just like "Oh you're strong bro, you can get through it bro" and I'm just like call the foul! come on please!”

For Fernando Mendoza, the sweat of hard work matters more than the shine of a championship — it’s what earns a leader respect inside the locker room.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft recently surprised many by turning down a chance to visit the White House with the Indiana Hoosiers. As a rookie, Mendoza felt skipping practice for a celebration wasn’t “a good look.” Although Raiders OTAs (Organized Team Activities) officially begin May 18 and the White House visit is scheduled for May 11, Mendoza’s ‘football-first’ attitude shows he came to Vegas not to sell jerseys, but to win.

“I’m on the bottom of the totem pole here. I’ve got to prove myself. I can’t miss practice,” Mendoza said. “I don’t have the calendar, but as a rookie, I don’t think that’s a good look.”

“Although I’ve come off as very humble, and pretty fuzzy and warm, at the end of my Indiana career when you have that equity, you’re able to be like No. 4 [Brett Favre] and No. 12 [Aaron Rodgers],” he told the Raiders broadcast this week.

Mendoza knows that with a veteran like Kirk Cousins present, he’ll have to fight for every rep.

“He has no fears about working and staying late and being the best he can be,” said his mother, Elsa Mendoza. “He’s just confident that he knows he can outwork anybody.”

The Raiders have made only two playoff appearances in the past 23 years, which is why on his very first day after the draft, Mendoza met legends like Marcus Allen and Tim Brown before immediately shifting back into football mode. Reports also note that by the second day of rookie minicamp, Mendoza was already bonding with teammates.

Mendoza’s mindset recalls 1984, when Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird declined President Ronald Reagan’s White House invitation. Bird famously said, “[The President] knows where to find me,” meaning his real work was on the basketball court, not at a ceremony.
