The Boston Bruins came back in the third period, but a defensive breakdown led to a 3-2 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night at the TD Garden.
The Hurricanes scored twice on the power play, once in the first and once in the second, to have the Bruins digging themselves out of a hole in the third period.
Brad Marchand score quickly in the final frame and then netted another one to tie the game.
While the Bruins bounced back with their offense and some line shuffling which included Trent Frederic finding himself on the top line, the defense’s poor game management led to Jordan Martinook coming in alone on Linus Ullmark and beat the B’s by one goal.
