Incredible Czech synergy in Boston went to waste. However, Hronek dazzled in the NHL.

Pavel Zacha scored for Boston in a 1:2 loss to Carolina, with David Pastrňák assisting. Carolina equalized through Jackson Blake, and Sebastian Aho secured the win. The Bruins failed to score points for the first time in eight games, while Carolina's goalie Pjotr Kočetkov achieved his eighth win in as many games this season. Filip Hronek led Vancouver to a 6:5 overtime victory against Anaheim with a decisive goal.
