Ward stymied the Bruins throughout Game 2 as the Hurricanes left Boston with the series tied at 1-1, thanks to a 3-0 win on Sunday.<\/p>\n
In that game, Ward turned aside 28 shots over the final two periods while the \u2018Canes had only 12 shots of their own over the final 40 minutes, including just three in the third period.<\/p>\n

Boston brought the pressure in Game 2 and although Carolina wasn\u2019t up to the task of handling it, their goaltender was.<\/p>\n
Ward, a Conn Smythe trophy winner as the MVP of the playoffs when the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in 2006, remained calm and collected as Boston continually peppered him with pucks. But, despite the strong performance in Game 2 and a resume that shows he plays his best in big games, Sportsbook.com members like Boston to get pucks past him and regain the series lead on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to argue with members given the regular season the Bruins had, along with their depth and discipline. So far in the playoffs, Boston has just 78 penalty minutes, they took just one minor penalty in Game 2 and amazingly have killed every penalty they\u2019ve taken so far in the postseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a great team and they stay out of the box; that\u2019s a lethal combination in the NHL Playoffs,\u201d said Sportsbook.com spokesman, Dave Staley. \u201cThey got shut out last game but you don\u2019t go through the playoffs perfect anyways. As long as Ward\u2019s play doesn\u2019t get into their heads, I still think the Bruins are the team to beat in the East.\u201d<\/p>\n
Will the Bruins bounce back Wednesday night in Carolina?<\/p>\n
