'Canes cap sweep of Bruins

Cam Ward made 47 saves, Brandon Sutter had a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes finished their first season sweep of the Bruins with a 3-0 victory Thursday night in Boston.

The Hurricanes, who won all four meetings with the Bruins, are 15-25-9 against the rest of the NHL and are last in the Eastern Conference. Carolina outscored Boston 14-5 in the season sweep.

Zach Parise scored two goals, including the go-ahead tally with 2:44 remaining, and the host New Jersey Devils beat the Montreal Canadiens, 5-3.

Scoreboard error probed

The NHL is investigating a scoreboard error during Wednesday night's game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The clock briefly stopped in the closing seconds - giving Drew Doughty enough time to score the winning goal in the Kings' 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The puck officially crossed the line with less than a second to play in regulation. However, when the Blue Jackets looked at video after the game, they discovered the clock froze for roughly a second just prior to Doughty's goal - meaning time should have expired.
