Philadelphia Flyers (0) - Carolina Hurricanes (2)

October 7, 1999

So far, Arturs Irbe hasn't done much wrong for the Carolina Hurricanes this season. Two games and two wins, including Thursday night's 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The loss marked the first time in the Flyers' 33-year history that they have gone scoreless in their first two games. The last time Philadelphia was shut out in consecutive games was in February 1995, when Ottawa and Florida each won 3-0.

"We just have to finish our plays," said Flyers captain Eric Lindros. "We have to score, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. We have to get back to the basics. It doesn't have to be fancy."

"We are frustrated a little bit," said Philadelphia's John LeClair after the Flyers failed in three power-play attempts to make it 0-for-9 in their first two games with a man advantage. "We did some things that we wanted to do offensively around the net. We were not hungry enough around the net, but it's not from a lack of effort. We are just not getting a bounce."
