Recap: Bruins surge on special teams to top Hurricanes, 4-2, in Game 3

The Boston Bruins took Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at the TD Garden, as their special teams capitalized twice on the power play and added a shorthanded tally.

Jeremy Swayman also made 25 saves in his first postseason start of his career, including many timely saves in the second period.

For the Bruins, they responded after a slower start than they intended to open the game with. The Hurricanes set the pace in the game’s opening minutes and took the lead midway through the first.

But the game turned when Charlie Coyle netted a shorthanded goal off a feed from Jake DeBrusk to even the game towards the end of the first period.
