The Boston Bruins scored four unanswered goals in the third period and finally won 4-3 over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night in Toronto.
By winning this game number 4, the Oursons took the lead 3 to 1 in the series and will be able to eliminate their opponents on Wednesday.
Jake DeBrusk (twice), Connor Clifton and Brad Marchand (dramatically, see in the video above) were the scorers for the winners in less than seven minutes. All of Boston’s nets have been scored on a power score, something they hadn’t been able to do in the previous eight periods.
Teuvo Teravainen narrowed the gap to 1 min 27 s, but the “Canes” could not repair the damage, especially as it was their only shot from the edge of the box. commitment.
The Hurricanes also had to wait nine minutes and 17 seconds before firing a first shot at Halak in this game, but it was quite a challenge. Behind the faceoff circle, Justin Williams found a breach under the Bruins goaltender’s arm. It was a first goal in those series for the former Conn-Smythe Trophy winner.
Jordan Martinook was the author of Carolina’s other goal.
Captain Jordan Staal was forced to retire to the locker room after a solid body check from Charlie McAvoy in the third period. No penalty was assessed on the play and Staal did not return to the match afterwards.
Jaroslav Halak posted a second straight win blocking 16 pucks. His opposite James Reimer had done well until the third period and finished with 29 saves on 33 shots.
More fear than harm for Svechnikov?
Caroline was without Andrei Svechnikov for this meeting and head coach Rod Brind’Amour said on Sunday that he didn’t expect to see the Russian again in the playoffs after his leg injury in Game 3.
The pilot retracted his statement and may have given fans some hope.
“It’s not as bad as it looked on TV,” he told Raleigh’s News & Observer on Monday.
“It didn’t look good. We feared the worst, I think we may have escaped it narrowly, ”added Brind’Amour.
Svechnikov is still in the Toronto “bubble” with his teammates, according to Sportsnet, which could greatly facilitate a return to the game. The second overall pick in the 2018 draft has seven points in six games in the current playoffs.
