The Boston Bruins experienced yet another tough loss in a 3-2 game against the Carolina Hurricanes, marked by a last-minute goal that underscored their struggles. Despite being without several key players, Boston managed to tie the game late but suffered a catastrophic mistake when defenseman Nikita Zadorov's stick broke while attempting to clear the puck. This resulted in Carolina's Seth Jarvis scoring the game-winning goal, pushing the Bruins' playoff hopes to the brink amid ongoing challenges, including allowing 27 goals late in periods this season.
Just as Zadorov was in the process of whipping the puck out of danger, his stick snapped - sending the puck dribbling aimlessly out to the slot.
The difference today was a broken stick and a crazy bounce," Korpisalo noted postgame.
But in the waning seconds of play, disaster struck for a Bruins team that was seemingly ready for overtime.
The Bruins have now given up 27 goals this season within the final two minutes of a period.
