BOSTON (AP) — Charlie Coyle scored late in the third period, Jaroslav Halak stopped 24 shots for his second shutout of the season, and the Boston Bruins beat the Carolina Hurricanes 2-0 Tuesday night for their eighth straight win.
David Krejci also scored for Boston, just 1:08 after Coyle got the Bruins on the scoreboard.
James Reimer finished with 32 saves for the Hurricanes.
Both goalies took shutouts deep into the third before Coyle redirected a pass from Brad Marchand past Reimer with 4:05 left.
Boston struck again quickly on Krejci’s shot from the point as the Bruins extended their longest winning streak of the season and improved to 9-0-3 in their last 12 games.
