The Carolina Hurricanes flew into Boston without Andrei Svechnikov. They were starting goalie, Spencer Martin, whom they just picked up off the waiver wire from Columbus.
But the Hurricanes played a very good hockey game and defeated the Bruins, 3-2 at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
The Hurricanes controlled much of the first two periods as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead while outshooting the home team, 23-15.
The two goals were both powerplay tallies, the first on a slick shot by Martin Necas and the second off of a play where Teuvo Teravainen went between Charlie Coyle’s legs on a shot that surprised the Bruins.
