Tuesday night at TD Garden did not get off to the best start for the Bruins.
In fact, it happened on Carolina’s first shot of the evening, too. A no-angle weird shot on goal from the Hurricanes’ Martin Necas hit Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman, floated up and disappeared into the nothingness of a goaltender’s gear, and appeared to pop into the back of the Boston net. That was the ruling on the ice, too. Much like Saturday’s game against the Panthers, the Bruins appeared set to have to work out of an early hole, with the ‘Canes on the board just 1:59 into the first period of play.
However, a video review confirmed that the puck never crossed the goal line, Swayman and the Bruins were saved and back at 0-0.
But the Bruins failed to make that goal-line break count, as the Bruins struggled to get their engines firing at the other end in what finished as a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes at TD Garden.
