Exciting Victory Secured with Late-Game Goal
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In a thrilling finish, Seth Jarvis scored with just 18.6 seconds left to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night. This marked the Hurricanes’ third consecutive victory, with Sebastian Aho and Brent Burns also contributing goals. Pyotr Kochetkov made 32 saves in the close contest. Meanwhile, Morgan Geekie scored both goals for the Bruins, who have now lost three games in a row. Joonas Korpisalo made 20 saves for Boston.
Jarvis’ game-winning goal was a relief for the Hurricanes, who had a potential go-ahead goal disallowed with 1:15 remaining due to an offsides call after a video review.
Key points to note:
– The Bruins had numerous scoring chances but struggled to convert.
– Carolina’s Jarvis, tied with Aho for the team lead in goals, scored his 24th of the season.
– The Hurricanes faced a significant shot deficit against Boston, their largest since November.
Key moment:
Kochetkov’s crucial save on Pastrnak in the second period prevented the Bruins from gaining momentum.
Next up:
Boston will face Tampa Bay on Saturday, while the Hurricanes will host Winnipeg on Sunday.
