3 takeaways from the Bruins’ sweep of the Hurricanes

COMMENTARY

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Boston Bruins didn’t need to weather a storm against a desperate Carolina Hurricanes bunch in Game 4. They created one instead.

Bruce Cassidy’s bunch displayed a killer instinct without captain Zdeno Chara (undisclosed injury). Everyone stepped up in his absence, including the Ol’ Reliables.

David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron’s second-period power play tallies got the Black and Gold off and running. Tuukka Rask held the fort again to conclude another stellar Eastern Conference Finals outing. And the Bruins’ D never gave the Hurricanes any chance to breathe even without their 6-foot-9 ageless wonder.
