RALEIGH Dallas Stars Hats Authentic , N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes brought back the Hartford Whalers for a night, and two of their younger stars kept “Brass Bonanza” seemingly playing on repeat.Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen each had two goals and two assists and the Hurricanes beat the Boston Bruins 5-3 on Sunday while wearing Whalers uniforms for the first time since moving 21 years ago.Aho, a 21-year-old who was born three months after the Whalers’ final game, had his fourth career four-point night and his second in five games, while it was the third for his linemate Teravainen. They assisted on each other’s two goals.“Obviously, when you’re scoring, you get more confidence. That’s how it goes,” Aho said. “It’s maybe a little bit easier to score when you get a couple of goals. I’m feeling pretty good right now, but it’s not just me. My linemates are helping me out a lot.”The Hurricanes scored four straight goals — three in the second period — to erase an early 2-0 deficit and snap a two-game losing streak that had left them two points out of last place.“You could see from the start, they were engaged Custom Dallas Stars Jerseys , even when we got down,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “That was nice to see the level of engagement for 60 minutes. … (The Bruins are) going to have their moments, and they did, but I felt like we just kept battling, and we got the win.”Justin Faulk also scored for Carolina, which scored two short-handed goals for the first time since 2013.Ryan Donato had two goals, Steven Kampfer also scored and Brad Marchand had two assists for the Bruins, who had won three straight and six of eight.Tuukka Rask made 32 saves for Boston, which pulled to 4-3 on Donato’s blast with 3:55 left in the second period. But the Bruins goalie made a critical miscue in the third, turning the puck over near the left post www.officialredwings.com , and that led to Teravainen’s short-handed goal that put Carolina back up by two with 12:40 remaining.“Huge mistake by me, and there’s the game,” Rask said. “The way I see it, it was just an early Christmas gift to the fellow Finns.”Petr Mrazek stopped 27 shots for the Hurricanes, who broke out the throwbacks to celebrate their Hartford Whalers heritage, donning jerseys with the whale-tail logo for the first time since they moved to North Carolina in 1997 and left plenty of hurt feelings back in Connecticut.While former owner Peter Karmanos Jr. preferred to leave the Whalers in the past, his successor, Tom Dundon, has fully embraced the organization’s old identity — stating his desire for a turn-back-the-clock game within weeks of buying the team in January.And when Teravainen cut the Hurricanes’ deficit to 2-1 with 7:05 left in the first, they piped “Brass Bonanza” over the PNC Arena speakers.“We wanted to just put everything out there Detroit Red Wings T-Shirts Authentic , and work as hard as we can, and thank God we made it happen this time,” Teravainen said.That catchy tune blared again three times in the second, twice courtesy of Aho. He tied it with a short-handed goal 89 seconds into the second, then scored the go-ahead goal with a kneeling-down shot from the slot at 7:11.The nostalgia ran deep throughout this one, with chants of “Let’s go Whalers” occasionally breaking out during the game. And the latest twist to the Hurricanes’ post-victory celebration on the ice — after their coordinated claps, the players flopped to the ice as if they were beached whales.“You’re laughing, so I guess (the idea) was good,” Aho said.NOTES: Carolina C Jordan Staal was scratched with an upper body injury. … A slightly less-intense version of one of those storied Bruins-Whalers fights took place early between Boston D Brandon Carlo and Hurricanes RW Andrei Svechnikov — who was born 3 years after the Whalers moved. … Carolina will bring its Whalers throwbacks to New England for its game at Boston on March 5.UP NEXTBruins: Play host to New Jersey on Thursday night.Hurricanes: Visit first-place Washington on Thursday night. MONTREAL (AP) — Jonathan Drouin picked the perfect time to break out of his lengthy scoring slump.Drouin had a goal and an assist and Carey Price made 28 saves as the Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Islanders 4-0 Thursday night to remain in the hunt for an Eastern Conference playoff spot.Drouin had not scored since Feb. 7, versus the Winnipeg Jets.“It’s definitely a relief Detroit Red Wings Hoodies Authentic ,” said Drouin, who did not have a point in his previous nine games. “It’s something you want. But it’s not something I thought about. You guys make stories more than me and you think about it more than me. I don’t listen to any of that noise. For me, it’s just to play hockey.”The win came at the right time for the Canadiens, who are battling for a postseason berth.Montreal (39-28-7) started the night one point back of Columbus in the conference. The Blue Jackets played the Edmonton Oilers later Thursday. The Canadiens are two points behind the Carolina Hurricanes, who lost 6-3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning.The Canadiens have won two straight after dropping two in a row.“I think we needed that for our confidence,” Drouin said. “We kind of lost it over the past two weeks. Now we got our confidence back and we’re not scared to make mistakes. We’re playing to win. The last couple of games have been different.”After a back-and-forth first period, Joel Armia gave Montreal the lead with seven seconds left in the frame when he beat Thomas Greiss between the pads from the slot on the power play.Armia had never scored a power-play goal in 228 career games coming into Thursday’s contest. Montreal converted one of two power-play chances.“A big momentum swing any time there’s a goal at the end of the period,” Islanders forward Anders Lee said. “And then we had two power plays right before that. Those are momentum swings in their favor, the way they killed them. And then they put in the goal at the end of the period. But it’s a one-goal game at that point.”The Canadiens added to their lead early in the second period.Shea Weber scored his 13th goal of the season with a slap shot to make it 2-0 at 1:03.Jordan Eberle, who played despite dealing with an upper-body injury this week Detroit Red Wings Hats Authentic , had a chance to get the Islanders back in the game, but couldn’t solve Price. The Canadiens’ goalie stuck out his pad and made a nice toe save to keep New York off the board.“We had some chances and we didn’t bury them,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “There’s a little bit of frustration but you need to wipe it away. Price made some timely saves. That’s what great goaltenders do.”Montreal made Eberle pay for missing that chance on the next shift. Drouin completed a tic-tac-toe pass play from Armia and Jesperi Kotkaniemi at the six-minute mark, snapping his 17-game run without a goal.“He was frustrated because he wasn’t scoring,” coach Claude Julien said of Drouin. “If this allows him to get his swagger back, good for him because it’s the perfect time.”Jordan Weal added a fourth for Montreal at 8:19 when he tipped Jordie Benn’s shot past Greiss.Greiss gave up four goals on 22 shots. Robin Lehner stopped all 12 shots he faced in relief.“We’re playing as a pretty good group and we’re using our assets like we should be,” said Price, who has 44 career shutouts. “If we keep doing that, I’m pretty sure we’re going to be successful for the rest of the season. We’re a tough team to play against when we play like that.”NOTES: Armia’s power-play goal was the first of his career. … The Islanders managed seven shots in the third period.UP NEXTIslanders: At Philadelphia on Saturday.Canadiens: Host the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.
