Trailing 2-0 with less than 13 minutes to play, Boston rattled off four goals in a 6:51 span for a come-from-behind win to take a 3-1 series lead over Carolina. Justin Williams and Jordan Martinook scored for the Hurricanes before the Bruins’ third period flurry, which included two goals from Jake DeBrusk along with goals from Connor Clifton and Brad Marchand to make it 4-2 Bruins. Teuvo Teravainen scored late in the third as the game ended 4-3.
With Tuukka Rask opting out of the playoffs, Jaroslav Halak has started and won Boston’s last two games. He stopped 29 of 30 shots in Game 3 but allowed three goals on just 19 shots in Game 4.
Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov missed Game 4 with a lower-body injury suffered late in Game 3. While Rod Brind’Amour originally said it was doubtful that Svechnikov would return in this series, he then said the injury was not as bad as originally thought.
