Bruins aim for seventh straight win vs. Hurricanes

Dec 27, 2008 - 11:35 AM Boston (25-5-4) at Carolina (17-14-5), 7:00 pm EST

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Ticker) -- The Boston Bruins will look to extend their season-long winning streak to seven games when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

The Bruins have not won seven contests in a row since closing the 1992-93 season with eight straight victories.

Tim Thomas made 25 saves Tuesday to record his third shutout of the season as Boston posted its 15th win in 17 games, a 2-0 triumph over the New Jersey Devils.

Phil Kessel had his 18-game points streak snapped against New Jersey. Kessel leads the club with 21 goals.

Thomas continues to be the Bruins' anchor, posting a 14-3-3 record with a 2.04 goals-against average and .935 save percentage.

Eric Staal netted his sixth career hat trick as the Hurricanes recorded a 5-4 triumph over the Atlanta Thrashers on Friday in a battle of Southeast Division rivals.

Chad LaRose and Patrick Eaves also scored and Ray Whitney notched three assists for Carolina, which suffered a 4-2 setback to the Bruins last Saturday in their first meeting of the season.
