The Carolina Hurricanes donned their Hartford Whalers throwback uniforms for the second time this season against the Boston Bruins Tuesday night. Despite coming back and forcing overtime, it was Carolina’s inability to score on their power play that allowed Boston to go home with a 4-3 victory.
Things got physical early as Micheal Ferland landed a high hit on Marcus Johansson. No call was made on the hit but the Bruins decided to police everything on their own. Shortly thereafter Noel Acciari slammed Nino Niederreiter in to the boards while Niederreiter was facing the glass.
