BOSTON -- Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored twice during Carolina's five-goal first period, Jaccob Slavin added a goal and two assists after a two-game absence, and the Hurricanes snapped the Boston Bruins' five-game winning streak with a 7-1 victory Tuesday night.
Teuvo Teravainen, Seth Jarvis, Derek Stepan and Andrei Svechnikov also scored for the Hurricanes, who have won two straight, seven of nine and are flexing their muscle across the Eastern Conference as the league heads into the All-Star Break.
"We had nothing. They were clearly better than us in every area," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
