The Boston Bruins were routed in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-1, but coach Bruce Cassidy wasn't about to pin that on Linus Ullmark.

"I am not faulting our goaltender for this," Cassidy said Monday night. "We had some opportunities we needed to finish. Like they did."

That said, Cassidy wouldn't name a starter for Wednesday night's Game 2 in Raleigh, North Carolina, with rookie goaltender Jeremy Swayman waiting in the wings.
