The final horn sounds and the #Canes fall to the Bruins by a score of 4-1. A three-goal first period for Boston serves as the difference. Rod Brind'Amour's group will have to move past this one quickly, as they're right back in action tomorrow night against Washington.
Hampus Lindholm from downtown. 4-1 Bruins.

Our third period is underway. The #Canes have their work cut out for them, getting two goals against this solid Boston team, but it's certainly possible. Let's see what Rod Brind'Amour's group can put together.
40 minutes down, 20 (or more) to go. 3-1, Boston. The #Canes got on the board and were able to halt Boston's momentum, so steps forward were taken.
After 20: Canes showing some life towards the end of the first period after the Jack Drury fisticuffs with Beecher. Unfortunately the Hurricanes are down 3-0 to Boston but there’s lots of time left to come back in this one SOG: #NHLBruins 12 #CauseChaos 8 3-0 BOS | End 1st
