Highlights from the Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes game on January 8, 1998 at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The game aired on WB17 in Philadelphia with Jim Jackson and Gary Dornhoefer commentating. The second goal is a highlight from the intermission. This was the Flyers first trip to North Carolina to take on the newly minted-Hurricanes. They previously met in Philadelphia two weeks prior.
The Hurricanes took a lead in the first period, but Janne Niinimaa's power play goal tied the game. Carolina again took a lead in the next period, and again, the Flyers tied it in the same period, this time on a Chris Gratton goal.
For a third straight period, Carolina re-gained the lead, but 40 seconds later John LeClair tied the game, and that was how the game would remain after the third period and overtime.
LeClair (goal, two assists) had three points, with Gratton (goal, assist) earning two. Sami Kapanen (two assists), Robert Kron (goal, assist), Nelson Emerson (goal, assist) and Keith Primeau (goal, assist) all had multi-point nights for the Hurricanes.
