Canes head to Boston looking for sweep

Found February 01, 2012 on Lord Stanley's Blog:
PLAYERS: Chad LaRose,  Jaroslav Spacek,  Derek Joslin,  Milan Lucic,  Eric Staal,  Tuomo Ruutu,  Jiri Tlusty,  Riley Nash,  Jeff Skinner,  Jussi Jokinen,  Brandon Sutter,  Pat Dwyer,  Andreas Nodl,  Tim Brent
TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes,  Boston Bruins,  New York Islanders

The Canes' Chad LaRose missed practice today with flu-like symptoms, coach Kirk Muller said, but should be ready for Thursday's road game against the Boston Bruins. Muller also said defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, who has missed the last six games, could return to the lineup. If Spacek can play Thursday, that would make Derek Joslin a healthy scratch. The Canes will be seeking to complete the first season sweep of the Bruins in Carolina's franchise history. Carolina beat Boston twice in October, early in the season, then topped the Bruins 4-2 at the RBC Center on Jan. 14. "I think the big part of our focus is we've got to play our game," Muller said. "Boston is a team that can play physical and they play hard in their barn. We can't get caught up in that kind of stuff. "We've just got to go out and play hard and play strong and play physical, but play clean. If we have opportunities to use our power play, we'd have to hurt them on the powe...

Who Has the Bruins Franchise Record for Most Assists in a Single Season By a Forward?

Via NESN.com  |  February 02, 2012
While Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci jockey to be top playmaker of the 2011-12 Bruins, one has to think back to some of the all-time best Bruins assist artists. Sure, Bobby Orr is the first to come to mind, and rightfully so. Orr's 102 assists during the 1970-71 season are a franchise record. In fact, only Hall of Fame forwards Wayne Gretzky (who did it 11 times) and Mario...

Ty Anderson: Psych Ward: 'Canes sweep season series against Boston

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 02, 2012
Heading into this year, history told us that Carolina goaltender Cam Ward isn't very good against Boston. In fact, he kinda sucked when it came to playing the Bruins. Coming into the season with a .909 save-percentage against the Bruins in 20 career contests, a season sweep of the Black-and-Gold by way of tonight's 47-save shutout has murdered the notion that the 27-year...
