Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo gave Bruins fans another reason to boo him on Monday, saying Carolina fans are “much louder” than Boston’s
The Boston Bruins cannot advance past the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs if they fail to win at least one game against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
Boston will get a third chance to win that road matchup Thursday night in Game 5.
The B's lost the first two games of the series in Carolina by a combined score of 10-3. They returned to Boston and won both games at TD Garden over the weekend by a combined score of 9-4. The B's got great goaltending from rookie Jeremy Swayman, they won the special teams battle, and they saw their top players, most notably Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, finally make a positive contribution to the series.
