And just like that, the Bruins had their first lead of the game.
Boston was down 2-0 heading into the third period of Game 4 against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night, but two quick goals from the B’s knotted the score.
Jake DeBrusk got it started when he scooted through the Canes’ defense and potted a pretty goal over a sprawling James Reimer. The Bruins winger went airborne before finding twine.

Then it was Connor Clifton’s turn just 2:44 later.
Joakim Nordstrom fed Clifton in the faceoff circle when the defenseman sent a rocket to the back of the net to make it 2-2.

But we weren’t done just yet, folks.
Brad Marchand gave Boston its first lead of the game off a pass from Torey Krug off the sideboards that beat Reimer on the breakaway.

Oh, but the Bruins still weren’t done.
DeBrusk added his second goal — the B’s fourth in 5:44 of play — of the period for the 4-2 lead.
