Yuck.
Five first-period goals from the Carolina Hurricanes sank the Boston Bruins, 7-1, for their first loss in five games on Tuesday at TD Garden.
“Tonight, we had nothing,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said. “They were clearly better than us in every area. This is less about the opponent and more about where we’re at.”
Patrice Bergeron tallied the Bruins’ lone strike in the first, while Tuukka Rask’s night lasted just one period in net after allowing five goals on 12 shots.
Perhaps the only positive of the night was former Bruins great Willie O’Ree’s No.
