Bruins face elimination after 5-1 loss to Hurricanes.
The Bruins can't rely on special teams to save their season. The have to play much better at even strength, which they absolutely are capable of doing. The B's ranked No. 4 in goals against, No. 1 in shots on net against and No. 1 in scoring chances against through 82 regular season games. That's the team that must show up over the next two games if the Bruins are going to win the series.in Game 3 and Game 4 in Boston. In Game 5, special teams was a huge reason why the B's lost.
Boston's penalty kill was fantastic in the previous two matchups, blocking tons of shots and prevent the Hurricanes from scoring on all 10 of their power-play opportunities. The penalty kill struggled Thursday night, allowing two goals, 10 shots on net and 10 scoring chances on five Carolina power plays.
The Bruins couldn't clear the puck on an early third-period penalty kill and the puck ended up in the back of their net. This goal, credited to 'Canes rookie Seth Jarvis, pretty much ended any chance of Boston making a comeback.
