Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said the Boston Bruins were handed a goal by the officials when his goalie interference challenge failed to overturn a second-period tally from forward Jake DeBrusk.
"They're too good a team to just give them goals. We have no chance if that happens," said Brind'Amour after Sunday's Game 4 at Boston's T.D. Garden, a 5-2 Bruins victory that knotted their first-round series at 2-2.
With 1:16 left in the second period, DeBrusk scored a power-play goal to tie the game at 2-2. Forward Brad Marchand backhanded the puck on Carolina goalie Antti Raanta, who unsuccessfully tried to cover it.
