For the first time since 2013, the Bruins are advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Bruins swept the Hurricanes, capping the series with a dominant 4-0 win at PNC Arena.
Tuukka Rask saved all 24 shots he faced en route to his seventh career playoff shutout. The first line dominated again; Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, and Patrice Bergeron all scored in the contest. In the second period, Pastrnak and Bergeron capitalized on power play opportunities to give the team the lead entering the final frame. Bergeron scored again in the third, while Marchand added the empty net dagger.
