The Carolina Hurricanes took Game one and two of the series back in Raleigh, thanks to convincing 5-1 and 5-2 wins. The Boston Bruins took game three of the series back at TD Garden in Boston by a 4-2 score.

Bruce Cassidy announced that he will be going with the same lineup that got the Bruins a 4-2 win in game three against the Hurricanes. However, the Bruins got bad news just 20 minutes before puck drop:
