Bruins Take Conference Opener Against Carolina


Steven Kampfer (Michigan) opened the scoring Thursday night at TD Garden with his first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff goal, and the Boston Bruins went on to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-2. Boston leads the best-of-seven 2019 Eastern Conference Final, one game to none.

Trailing 2-1 after two periods of play, the Bruins scored four goals in the final 20 minutes, including two power-play goals 28 seconds apart to take the lead for good. Charlie Coyle (Boston University) then tallied an empty-net goal to make it 4-2 for the Bruins, assisted by Sean Kuraly (Miami), before Chris Wagner (Colgate) notched the Bruins' fifth goal unassisted.

Game Two is set for Sunday in Boston (3 pm. ET, NBC TV).
