The Carolina Hurricanes, after two losses and a tie, finally won a game, and it came in style against the Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins at home Wednesday night.

The Hurricanes outshot the Bruins 34-28 in the 3-2 victory and goalie Cam Ward made several terrific stops. The Hurricanes never trailed, leading 1-0 after two periods and getting the lead to 2-0 and 3-1 in the third period.

“It’s just the fourth game of the season but we did treat it as a must win game,” Ward said, adding that it is important for the team to feel good about itself and see what it feels like to win a hockey game.

Now the Hurricanes must go on a tough four-game road trip. “You’ve got to be able to win on the road to be successful in this league and we’re going to be put to the challenge,” Ward said.
