Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta knocked out of game after hit by Bruins' David Pastrnak

The Carolina Hurricanes were down to the organization's No. 3 goaltender Wednesday night after a collision during the first period.

But rookie Pyotr Kochetkov, 22, made 30 saves as the Hurricanes beat the Boston Bruins 5-2 for a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.

Bruins forward David Pastrnak had caught Antti Raanta in the mask with his glove as he skated by. The goalie dropped to the ice, had a cut on his mouth, left the game and didn't return. A five-minute major was originally called but on review, it was changed to a two-minute minor for goalie interference.
