Hurricanes power-play kills Bruins

The annual game after Thanksgiving for the Bruins this season was yesterday where the Bruins faced the Carolina Hurricanes. The Bruins had a good start but didn't manage to put any goals on the board. From there it only got worse for the Bruins as they couldn't put any pucks past goalie Cam Ward and Carolina capitalized on all three power-plays they had to put the Bruins away 3-0.

Tim Thomas was in net for the Bruins, making 18 saves on 21 shots. Thomas is now 11-2-1, with a 1.56 GAA, and a .951 save percentage.

The Bruins next game is tomorrow at the Atlanta Thrashers. Jordan Caron and David Krejci will not make the trip to Atlanta because they both will be out with the flu. The Bruins have recalled Jamie Arniel from Providence (AHL) on an emergency basis.

The Bruins are still in 2nd place in the division with 26 points (21 games), only behind Montreal (29 points in 23 games). With this loss the Bruins home record goes to 4-5-2.
