Boston came out with a physical first period but could not get their passing going, with many missed opportunities due to poor passes. The Bruins struggled immensely with breakouts throughout the game, which caused them to have a hard time to get into the Hurricanes zone.
Another big issue was goaltending, Swayman proved once again that Ullmark may be the right choice for game 1 of the playoffs after that performance.
Regardless of the bad loss, the Bruins have been playing very well lately, hopefully we see the team that has beaten the Panthers twice in their last few games and not the team from last night in the playoffs.
