Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes, after a win in Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Boston Bruins, developed a winning culture behind coach Rod ...

“He’s a quiet leader and a fun guy to watch,” DeAngelo said. The Canes and Bruins took differing approaches to their preparation for Game 2. Then playing for the New York Rangers, the defenseman had the Canes’ Sebastian Aho dance around him with the puck and score on a quick backhander. Why are we playing for that, why are we just trying to make the playoffs? “It’s all a credit to the group. And Brind’Amour, in turn, credited the Bruins’ success for being a factor.

The Hurricanes will stick with their game one lineup for this one.

“You want to play physical and hard. “You want to play between the whistles,” Bergeron said. Both ended up drawing a slashing penalty, part of a busy night in the box for the Bruins with 13 penalties for 28 minutes. “I don't think there was any intent there at all.” Linus Ullmark surrendered four goals for the second straight game and finished with 29 saves. Notably, there was the jarring shoulder-to-chest blast by Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov that leveled Hampus Lindholm and left him wobbly as he was helped to the locker room late in the second. But one was legal, one was not, if you really want to break it down.” We could've had more than two.” “We got better. “We need a timely save, there's no doubt about it,” Cassidy said. Sebastian Aho and Nino Niederreiter each scored twice and the Carolina Hurricanes overcame the early loss of goalie Antti Raanta to beat the Boston Bruins 5-2 on Wednesday night for a 2-0 lead in the first-round series.

The Boston Bruins will be looking to bounce back from their 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 1 of their playoff series.

The Hurricanes were the NHL’s best penalty kill during the regular season, so it’s going to take some doing to get the Boston Bruins untracked against Carolina when it comes to special teams. -The Boston Bruins have added veteran Chris Wagner to the NHL roster for the Stanley Cup playoff run now that the salary cap is no longer in play. Carolina has now outscored the Boston Bruins by a 21-2 margin over four meetings between the two clubs this season and the Boston Bruins have managed just one 5-on-5 goal in 12 periods of play vs. “I’m sure you’ve guys have probably heard this a million times, but people at the net-front with good timing so they’re not able to be tied up – free sticks around their net-front, and see if we can generate some second-chance opportunities,” said Hall, who absolutely earned the right to speak his mind after Game 1 as the team’s best player with Boston’s only goal and six shot attempts in 18:31 of ice time. I think playoff hockey is about hanging around the net and finding a way to score. That played out in Game 1 where the Hurricanes took home a 5-1 victory over the Bruins where they pulled away with three unanswered goals in the third period.

What's the Hurricanes-Bruins score? Who's winning Boston Bruins vs. Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the first round of the NHL playoffs, ...

Linus Ullmark was back in net for the Bruins after allowing four goals on 20 shots in the Hurricanes’ Game 1 win. The Hurricanes killed the first thanks to a steal (and scoring chance) from Sebastian Aho and a big Antti Raanta save on Charlie McAvoy. The second ended with Pastrnak’s penalty. (Guess the shoulder’s OK.) For the record, Game 1’s siren sounders: Justin Williams, reality TV stars Penn and Kim Holderness, and North Carolina men’s basketball coach Hubert Davis, who was greeted with a mixture of cheers and boos in N.C. State’s home arena. Aho, again: Sebastian Aho remained on a better than point-per-game career postseason pace by putting the Hurricanes up 2-0. Aho’s wrister from the top of the right circle was assisted by Tony DeAngelo — his second — and Teuvo Teravainen. There were two scrums in the final six seconds of the period as tempers boiled over. Boston, in fact, nearly as many chances on the PK as the Canes did on the power play in the first half. Niederreiter makes it 4-1: Nino Niederreiter stuffed the puck past Linus Ullmark on yet another Carolina power play — the Hurricanes are 2-for-6 — to make it 4-1. Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta left the game with 12:02 to go in the first period after Boston’s David Pastrnak collided with him during a Bruins power play. The Boston defenseman had to be helped from the ice. Canes go down a skater again: Hurricanes called for too-many-men just shy of the halfway mark of the third. Bruins get one back: After a period of offensive zone pressure, Charlie McAvoy sent a quick pass into the low slot.
