Ice hockey – NHL (play-offs): Boston takes the measure of Carolina

Marie Mahé, published on Wednesday August 12, 2020 at 9:15 p.m.

For their first game of the first round of the NHL play-offs, the Boston Bruins needed two overtime before defeating the Carolina Hurricanes (4-3 ap).

Boston Advantage. This Wednesday, the Bruins disposed of the Carolina Hurricanes (4-3 ap), for their first game of the first round of the NHL play-offs, in the Eastern Conference, on the side of the “bubble” of Toronto, at the Scotiabank Arena , behind closed doors. A victory that came after two extra times. Originally, this meeting should have taken place on Tuesday, but it was eventually postponed due to the particularly impressive duration of the first game between Tampa Bay and Columbus. Despite their victory, the Bruins were nevertheless well behind the score, thanks to a goal from Joel Edmundson, after 13 minutes of play, before turning the situation around and even staying ahead (2-1, 3-2), following the achievements of David Pastrnak, Charlie Coyle and David Krejci. 10 minutes from the end of the third period and therefore the match, the Hurricanes ended up equalizing through Haydn Fleury. The two franchises therefore headed for the extension and it was Patrice Bergeron who ended up relieving his family.
