The Flyers lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4, but the loss will motivate them to work harder, according to coach Rick Tocchet. Alex Bump, one of five players aged 22 or under to play in the game, was the player who got burned by Carolina Hurricanes center Logan Stankoven on the tie-breaking goal. Bump responded with a goal later in the third period, which helped the Flyers force overtime in what became a 3-2 loss. Coach Tocche also used Oliver Bonk (21) and Jett Luchanko (19) for their playoff debuts, despite not having played in an NHL game since Oct. 20. The young Flyers have been able to learn from this playoff experience as they prepare for their first full NHL season.
