The Hurricanes starting goaltender Antti Raanta was injured in the first period, and their third-string Pyotr Kochetkov is now in net. It was confirmed that Raanta would not be returning to game two. Boston has mustered just nine shots against the rookie in over 20 minutes of play.
With the lack of offense from the entire Bruins team, Bruce Cassidy has reunited "The Perfection Line" of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. It appears that Trent Frederic may have been benched as Taylor Hall was skating in his position with Charlie Coyle and Craig Smith.
