Matt Slocum - APAndrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho each had a goal and an assist and the Carolina Hurricanes beat Philadelphia 4-1 on Sunday night, handing the Flyers their franchise-record seventh straight loss to open the season. The Flyers dropped to 0-5-2, breaking the record set by the 1999-00 team and matched by the 2008-09 squad. Both of those teams rebounded to make the playoffs. Carolina earned at least a point in its 12th straight game in Philadelphia. The defending champion Hurricanes have won five in a row after dropping their first two. Flyers rookie defenseman Oliver Bonk had a rough second period in his season debut and was a factor in three Carolina goals.
