Bruins

Black & Gold won for the third time in series on home ice, takes down Hurricanes, 5-2.

We had some puck luck around the front of the net on the second goal and they had some up there at times. Super happy to be out there with the boys and a big win tonight." "I think in the second period, they had a couple of crossbars. So, a lot of talk, lot of support, close support, be in tight, everyone on the same page, and we were able to feed off each other that way." "Haula's goal, puck recovery, work to get a puck back, it gets moved around, low to high, presenting yourself in the slot," said Cassidy. "Haula had a good tip in the second period that we almost scored on. "They've each scored a goal in the last two games, which is a nice bonus. "He's really stepped up," said Cassidy. "It's been a series where we've been killing a lot of penalties…he's been excellent in shooting lanes. You've got to be able to do that, work to get a puck back, create a turnover on the forecheck, hang onto it, support each other. "I think a lot of the lines that were there tonight, we've played together a good chunk of this year," said Coyle, who was one of the B's five goal scorers. In eight games against Carolina this season (including the three regular-season matchups), Boston had failed to score the game's opening goal - a streak that was finally broken on Thursday night when Brad Marchand notched his fourth of the series with a beautiful near-side wrister over the glove of Antti Raanta just 46 seconds into the second. "I think having that lineup that we had, we're more familiar with one another, I think each line, and you can tell. "You change lines for a reason through the course of the playoffs.

The Boston Bruins forced a deciding Game 7 in their Eastern Conference series with a 5-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.

Coyle netted the second Boston goal on a man-up opportunity, taking advantage of a fortuitous bounce following a deflected David Pastrnak one-timer. After Connor Clifton sprung a long pass through the neutral zone, Marchand snapped off a hard wrister from the right circle that beat Raanta upstairs to the short side. Haula netted the first of those tallies, redirecting in Charlie McAvoy’s pass from the slot after the defenceman retrieved a loose puck.

La série entre les Bruins de Boston et les Hurricanes de la Caroline a été poussée à la limite jeudi soir.

Curtis Lazar a ajouté la touche finale avec un peu plus de quatre minutes à faire au match. Pour les Bruins, le défenseur Hampus Lindholm effectuait un retour au jeu, lui qui s’était blessé au haut du corps sur un contact avec Svechnikov pendant le deuxième affrontement. Erik Haula a d’abord fait scintiller la lanterne en faisant dévier un lancer de Charlie McAvoy, puis le défenseur Derek Forbort a enfilé l’aiguille en profitant de la circulation dense devant Raanta.
