Bruins vs. Hurricanes | NHL Highlights | Oct 27, 2026

In the league, Swayman, a far busier goaltender, in all seven wins, Kachetkov has faced under 25 shots. And you will see the starting lineups appear across the bottom of your screen, brought to you by Taco Bell. As we are underway, and Swayman very quickly had to pass a test, and does so as he is out to stop the puck behind his own net. The Bruins are 7-0-1 in their last eight games. And the first team in the NHL to 20 points this season, the Carolina Hurricanes. So arguably the two best in the league meeting tonight. All right. Quickly going to work and putting pressure on the Canes, that soft shot, in their last four games. Five total, in fact. The Bruins set up, and a shot blocked, courtesy of Walker, to the corner. Lindholm checked by Keandre Miller, who pokes it behind the net. Retrieved by Zuccaccolo, thrown out in front, skates to stick. Lindholm, off the stick of Zuccaccolo! Perfect pass, and the tip-in for Zuccaccolo! The Bruins strike first! They've got a 1-0 lead. That's the stick out of Paterka's hands. It doesn't take long. A puck retrieval and a quick move by Zuccaccolo to get back in front of the goal line. I'm not sure that Lindholm is not losing to Dinov. They're out there against Blake and Stan Stankoven, four real good young players. Stan Stankoven's had a tremendous start to the year. A nice stretch pass to Ehlers. He can fly. Ehlers moves in. Save made by Swayman. But Swayman said no. Look how quickly they go on the attack. Well played by Mike Riley to turn the play around. And Ehlers playing alongside of Stankoven and Blake with the injury to Taylor Hall. He gets out in the rush. He's a flash skater, is Ehlers. And Swayman able to get out of the net to make that stop on a really dangerous rush chance. Logan Stankoven had 21 goals last season. That shot on net. Stopped by Swayman. And he covers with Blake lurking. But the Bruins take it right back. Here is... Janota across the line. Flips left to Paterka. Paterka back to Janota. Tries to pull it to his forehand. Edge of the blue paint. Denied by the stick of Kochetkov. Kalamaki digging away as his Gustafsson spare. It's freed up. Borgen wrist shot. Penalty call. Save made by Kochetkov. Coming to his own as the quarterback of this power play. And they have power play goals in back-to-back games. Aho behind the net. Quick trigger. Svechnikov. And that was read perfectly by Swayman. They work the perimeter. Jackson Blake on the flank to Nikolaj Ehlers. Ehlers surveys, opts for Gustafsson straight away. Ehlers with room. Down to the goal line. Into the bumper. Aho swept one on net. Stick save Swayman. The penalty killers who are trying to be aggressive, to be aggressive when the puck moves this quickly. It goes Ehlers, Blake, Aho before anybody can react quickly enough to get a... Played back up top to Gustafsson. Room for Ehlers, this time he fires, save made again by Swayman, with the glove, traps it to the blocker, comes across the line, criss-crosses with Higgins, shoots instead and misses the net, wound around the boards, Casey Middlestadt skates onto it at the half wall, out in front, that shot into the glove of Kachetkov from Higgins, and he will hold off in this regular season, that is dominant play. People might forget, but two years ago the Bruins weren't in the playoffs, and they... Made really aggressive moves at the deadline. They traded three or four players. To Higgins, point to point it goes. The power play ending. Middle step. Tied up in the corner. Blake, fresh out of the box. Brings it across the line. Blake, dangling. Blake, shoots, glove save, Swayman. Jackson Blake gets on the ice just in time to touch the puck. You're not allowed to play it from the box. Almost finessed it into the top of the net. Final minute of play in the opening period, room for Blake, out in front, score! Now he's got his third of the season, look at Freddie Brunet, the young Bruins defenseman, you cannot hesitate with the puck, the Carolina Hurricanes, the young guy's mistake, he looks to make a play and he waits, and as he waits, the Canes take the puck off his stick, oh my, what a beautiful move! Swings a pass right to Zaka, Zaka protects it at the half wall. Chatfield racing down the wing. Carrier has the puck. Robinson in front. Oh, what a kick save made by Swayman of Eric Robinson. This is another example of the pressure up the ice. The Canes chip it out. Now they hunt after it. It's Carrier that gets to it first. His pass is right on the tape to Robinson. And both of those players, I would say, are Carolina players. They're straight line. They're fast. After Brian Leach. Zaka. Toe drag. Wrist shot. Blocked by Valimaki. Svechnikov the other way. Drops and holds. Finds the trailer. Saves. Swing it. Sidorov protects it. Banked ahead, kept alive by Sean Walker, but now carried through center by Fraser-Minton. Leans in on the backhand, to the forehand, save Kuchetkov. He gets some support now from Fraser-Minton. It pops free, Geeky can't keep it onside. Possible two-on-one. Blake across the line. Ehlers to the net. The trailer's spanked open, and he just missed the crossbar. And Slavin located the puck with his skates and shut the door. And now he's crossed the line. Wrist shot, Jankowski high and wide, off the end wall, it caroms back to the right of Swayman, and on the edge of the crease he covers. All of the injured players have been able to return, as now Deloria has to be separated from Pastrnak, right in front of you. Moving in Robinson, saves Swayman! That's the second time. Sorry Bob, Carolina started to impose their will a little bit in this second period, they've outscored their opponents by 12. In 12 games in the second period. Leaning in, Carrier, one-handed shot, stopped by Swayman. You dream of it as you're a kid, and then all of a sudden these Carolina Hurricanes become champions. Blake tried to walk it out in front. DeAndre Miller's shot blocked by Hustadino. Their fourth line. Mark Kastelik is going to come around the back of the net. This puck goes into the crease, and as Pastrnak whiffs on it, Kotkaniemi swats it out of danger. Higgins, Kivitz's way past Aho. Tosses into the glove of Kachetkov. Kachetkov looks ahead. Tanner Janot winds it deep. Behind the net, Kastelik. Tries to work it out in front. Shoot. Saves Kachetkov. The rebound was behind him. That shot by Lindholm. Blocked in front by a sliding Gostisbeer. And somehow, Kachetkov finds it. Eyes the net. Down to the goal line and gets a return. It's through to Aho. Gostisbeer thought about a one-timer. Could not tee it up. Aho. Back to Gostisbeer. Aho. Seam pass again. Save made by Swayman. Svechnikov trying to go back door to Blake. And it's cleared by Lindholm. The Bruins with only nine shots on net for the game as statistically they've had several shots removed from their stat column but they've killed off the power play that shot eaten up by Swayman goals against so far this season number two Boston number four Carolina so I guess no surprise we are tied at one Martin up stick save made by Swayman so if the puck is rimmed around they're going to get it first the Bruins are trying to choke off the play Svechnikov off the mask of Swayman Overskated by McAvoy, and now Andre Miller gliding through the neutral zone. Ehlers brings it across the line. Glove save Swayman, as Miller puts it in the corner to Walker and gets a return. Now Elias Lindholm is all over Keiondre Miller. A stick lift, they get the turnover. There's a shot off the shoulder of Kachetkov. And the Canes move ahead again. A takeaway by Pastrnak to the backhand, and the post! Pastrnak had a wide open net! About inches. Matt Pastrnak's got the wide open net. All the way down to the goal line. Holding off Aho. One hands the puck out in front. Lari lost control. And will carry it. Breaks the other way. Svechnikov across the line. Carrier to Aho. Scatter. The top and then tips this pass. He's got seven straight wins and never over 25 shots in a game. Gosta Svechnikov off the right pad of Swayman. Aho pokes it, a good hit by Svechnikov, he controls it, swept on net, save made by Swayman, it popped free to Aho, McAvoy on the attack. Pasternak had to drag the left skate to stay onside. McAvoy drove the middle. Pastrnak off the outside of the net. Kachetchikov holding the post. He doesn't know where it is. And it does not cross the line. Pasternak is inside a geeky. They'll both fan out to their left looking for a one-timer. Pasternak has it. He gets a return. Down low. Saka fans in front. Hard.
