RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Flyers aim for their sixth straight win when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday.
After a disastrous 0-3-3 start, Philadelphia has turned things around - thanks to the highest-scoring offense in the Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia has tallied 17 goals during its winning streak an average of 3.42 goals per game.
Mike Knuble scored twice, including the game-winner with 5:08 remaining as the Flyers recorded a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday. Jeff Carter tallied for the third straight game and is tied for the league lead with Buffalo's Thomas Vanek with 15 goals.
Carolina has dropped two straight, including Monday's 3-2 setback to Florida. Right wing Chad LaRose has scored in two straight games after failing to register a point in eight consecutive contests.
The Flyers, who will host the Hurricanes on Friday, last won six in a row from October 30-November 12, 2005.
