Daniel Paille, Blake Wheeler and Steve Begin scored to make it 3-0 after a scoreless first period Saturday, forcing Carolina coach Paul Maurice to call a timeout to settle his team down.
Well, wouldn't you...???
It was the first time in NHL history that a team has scored three times while short-handed on the same penalty, the Bruins said. The Winnipeg Jets scored four short-handed goals against Vancouver on April 7, 1995, the only time a team has scored more than three in a game since 1964-65.
"We made the book," Begin said with a laugh. "I heard they're going to put us on the power play now."
Oddly, the Bruins haven't scored with a man-advantage in their past 22 attempts in seven games. They had just three short-handed goals all season before Saturday.
Here's the proof...

Matt Hunwick was the guilty party who got to sit in the box for the three-fer. He had one request for his Bruins teammates.
"I said, 'Hey, boys. Kill this one for me.' "
"That was crazy," Hunwick said. "You never want to take penalties, but they responded great. You'd like to be out there and be a part of it."
