The Bruins were tails and head the better of the two teams in games two and one in all aspects, but none more than goaltending and the stellar play of Tuukka Rask.
Rask and the Bruins enter game three to a five-game winning series this post season and the puckstoppers figures are Conn Smythe-like. His playoff spare percentage is tops in the league at .937 including stopping 50-of-54 shots against the Hurricanes in the first two matches.
The defence was very solid at both ends of the rink on Sunday afternoon. To begin with, they only let the Canes a grand total of 23 shots on goal. Then, at the other end of the rink contributed with three goals (Matt Grzelcyk, 2 goals, Connor Clifton, 1 target ) or 50 percent of the total scoring for the match.
Obviously, the Bruins power-play has also been crucial to this show going four-for-seven with the man advantage. Brad Marchand directs the NHL in power-play points with 10.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes has to be thinking to themselves — what is occurring in this series? After eliminating the defending Stanley Cup champs in seven games, then sweeping the Islanders in four, they have hit their biggest bump in the road.
Petr Mrazek doesn’t seem like the same goaltender he was during the first two rounds as he fought in the first two matches. Mrazek has allowed 10 goals on 52 shots to get a save percentage of .807 in games one and two. Although it hasn’t been verified at press time, Head Coach Rod Brind’Amour may have to consider backup Curtis McElhinney. To his credit, McElhinney was spectacular in the prior series versus the Islanders posting a save percentage of .947.
They will be looking for a hero in game three as the offence has fallen asleep as of late. In the last four phases of play, the Hurricanes have only managed 29 shots on target.
