Bruins Lose to Hurricanes on Last-Minute Goal

The Boston Bruins suffered a crushing 3-2 defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes, with Seth Jarvis scoring the game-winning goal with just 18.6 seconds left, aided by Nikita Zadorov's broken stick. This loss marked their eighth defeat in nine games, significantly impacting their playoff prospects with a 28-28-8 record. A potential winning goal for the Hurricanes was nullified by an offside challenge, highlighting Boston's defensive challenges. Despite dominating in stretches, Boston's inability to capitalize on key moments and their pattern of allowing 27 goals in the final two minutes of periods this season have contributed to their struggles. The Bruins' recent performances underscore the challenges they face as they prepare to play Tampa Bay, while Carolina will face Winnipeg at home.
