RALEIGH, N.C. — The Boston Bruins needed to buck the home-ice trend to advance to the second round. Instead, one of their troubling trends popped up at the worst possible time.
Teuvo Teravaninen’s doorstep tally gave the Carolina Hurricanes the 1-0 lead with 1:24 remaining in the first period of Game 7.
Talyor Hall committed an ill-advised high-sticking double-minor on the ensuing shift. The Bruins managed to go into the locker room with only a 1-0 deficit in hostile territory.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad killed the double-minor but quickly found themselves in a 2-0 hole on Max Domi’s marker.
