It's hard to imagine a more unfortunate ending to a hockey game than the one the Boston Bruins just endured.
Tied 2–2 with the Carolina Hurricanes with less than 25 seconds remaining, Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov attempted to clear the puck by blasting it up the ice from inside the defensive zone. In what can only be described as supreme misfortune, Zadorov's stick snapped in two, resulting in the defenseman whiffing on his attempted clearance.
