The Carolina Hurricanes blew a two goal, two period lead as the Boston Bruins took Game 4, 4-3, Monday night at Scotiabank Arena.
Missing their young star, Andrei Svechnikov, the Hurricanes were put into a crunch come game time. There wasn’t many changes to the roster: Ryan Dzingel came back into the lineup for Svechnikov, Jake Gardiner swapped back in for Trevor van Riemsdyk and James Reimer got the nod in net.
But the unexpected thing was the starting lineups Brind’Amour opted for. Jordan Martinook found himself on the top line and Martin Necas wound up on the fourth.
