After the first two games of the series, even Bruins fans had the series over in a sweep for the Hurricanes, but Boston has clawed back to tie the series with two convincing wins at home in TD Garden.
The Bruins' special teams unit once again played a huge part in the 5-2 victory on Sunday afternoon. The B's powerplay went 2 for 9, while the penalty was again perfect, killing all five opportunities they had.
