Almost two months ago, the Carolina Hurricanes went to Boston and were trounced by the Bruins in a 7-1 romp. Tonight, the Canes returned to TD Garden and got a point, but the result was the same, extending Carolina’s losing streak to six courtesy of Charlie McAvoy’s goal a minute into the extra session.
For the first 19:56 of the first period, the Canes looked locked in. Victor Rask nearly gave the Canes the lead nine minutes in when his rebound of a Jaccob Slavin shot bounced off Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask and behind the goaltender, but the puck was cleared off the line by Rick Nash, keeping the game scoreless for a time.
