There will be a Game 7.

The Bruins defeated the Hurricanes 3-1 in Thursday’s Game 6, continuing the streak of the home team winning every game so far in this first-round series.

After a scoreless first period, Brad Marchand got the Bruins on the board in the second period. His wrist shot from the right faceoff dot went top shelf past Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta to give Boston a 1-0 lead.

The Bruins extended their lead later in the second. Charlie Coyle got a loose puck in front of the net during a Bruins power play, burying the shot home to give Boston a 2-0 lead.
