Jeremy Swayman made the timely saves and the Boston Bruins answered the bell in Game 3 with a 4-2 win that cut the Carolina Hurricanes’s series lead to 2-1. It was a gut-check win for a Bruins team that was lost in Games 1 and 2.

The Perfection Line of Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-David Pastrnak was reunited and they didn’t disappoint in Game 3.

A scary incident occurred 14:53 into the second period of Game 3 after David Pastrnak scored a powerplay goal to give the Boston Bruins a 3-1 lead. A glass pane was knocked loose and fell on the timekeeper who ended up getting rushed to the hospital.
