It was a heavy night at TD Gardens, with the two teams combining for 74 hits, 30 penalty minutes and even a fight as the Carolina Hurricanes routed the Boston Bruins with a 6-0 victory Thursday night to sweep the season series.
Frederik Andersen was a crucial key to the win, playing big all night and posting a 28-save shutout, his second of the season — the first having been a 33 save shutout in October, also against Boston.
Teuvo Teravainen was also a key contributor in his return to the lineup as the Finnish winger picked up three primary assists in his first game action since January 27, Sebastian Aho notched two goals to reach the 20-goal mark for the sixth-straight season, and the captain, Jordan Staal, broke a nearly three-and-a-half month long goal drought.
