The Boston Bruins have found some spectacular ways to lose games this season, but Thursday night might take the cake.
A pair of teams that haven’t faced off since October meet for their second of three meetings this season when the Carolina Hurricanes take on the Boston Bruins at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, N.C.
An unfortunately-timed broken stick from a Bruins defenseman resulted in a game-winning goal for the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Carolina Hurricanes will take on the Boston Bruins (28-27-8) tonight as the team starts a four-game homestand. The Hurricanes have won each of their last two games by a 2-1 score and are hoping to find a bit more of an offensive showing against the struggling and depleted Bruins.
"The human side of me was crushed," Jeremy Swayman said as the Bruins tried to pick up the post-deadline pieces.
Both just traded, longtime Boston teammates Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo sat by each other on the plane ride to Colorado.
The Boston Bruins took a 4-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday at AMALIE Arena. Cole Koepke gave Boston a 1-0 lead in the second period before a tough bounce resulted in a goal for Bruins forward Mark Kastelic in the third period for a 2-0 advantage.
