Hurricanes coach Maurice seeking first win since return

Dec 6, 2008 - 11:28 AM Philadelphia (12-7-6) at Carolina (12-12-2), 7:00 pm EST

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Carolina Hurricanes hope coach Paul Maurice's second game back goes better than the first.

After a lackluster performance is Maurice's return to the bench, the Hurricanes will look to reverse their fortunes against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Tuomo Ruutu and Matt Cullen scored Thursday, but the Hurricanes had Maurice's return spoiled in a 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Carolina, which has lost five of its last six games, brought back Maurice - who also coached the franchise from 1995-2003 - after firing Peter Laviolette on Wednesday.

The Flyers are also struggling, losing three of their last four contests. Philadelphia has still done a great job at picking up points, though.

Scottie Upshall and defenseman Kimmo Timonen scored Thursday, but the Flyers could not stop a late rally and lost to the New Jersey Devils, 3-2, in overtime. Martin Biron turned aside 28 shots for Philadelphia, which is 8-1-3 in its last 12 contests.
