The Carolina Hurricanes may be in last place in their division but you wouldn’t know it from the way they play against the powerhouse Boston Bruins. The Canes beat the Bruins 3-0 in Boston to win all four games against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
A Tuomo Ruutu (pictured) rebound shot for the second goal may have been the play of the game but Cam Ward was the star as he kept the Hurricanes in it with 47 saves, including 22 in the first period. The Hurricanes scored a goal in each period.
“It was probably the best game we have played all year,” Canes coach Kirk Muller said. “Guys get excited to play the Stanley Cup champs. It seems to bring out the best in our game.”
The Hurricanes return home to play the Los Angeles Kings Saturday night. For more on the Bruins game, please click here.
