PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Jeff Carter's two goals and an assist Saturday powered the Philadelphia Flyers' 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Flyers also got goals from Chris Pronger (power play) and Daniel Carcillo en route to their third straight win. Ray Emery turned aside 33 Carolina shots.

The Hurricanes, who have lost four of their last five, got goals from Eric Staal and Rod Brind'Amour.

Cam Ward allowed two goals on 22 shots after coming into the game early in the first period to relieve Manny Legace, who was suffering from pink eye. Legace gave up one goal on seven shots.

Carter scored what turned out to be the game-winner late in the second period when he scored his 20th goal of the season on a wrist shot on a pass from Aaron Asham
