Domi and Raanta lead ’Canes to Game 7 win

-

Max Domi scored twice in the second period while Antti Raanta had 27 saves to help the Hurricanes beat the Bruins 3-2 on Saturday to win the deciding Game 7 of their first-round playoff series.

Teuvo Teravainen also scored for the Hurricanes, who finally put away a Bruins team that had ousted them from the playoffs in two of the past three postseason­s. That ended a series in which neither team could manage a road win, with the Hurricanes eventually getting the final word backed by yet another rowdy and loud home crowd.

Carolina advanced to the second round to face the winner of Sunday’s Game 7 between the Rangers and the Penguins.

Domi was an unlikely star in this one. Carolina acquired him ahead of the March trade deadline, and he rewarded them by scoring the first postseason goals of his career. He also assisted on Teravainen’s goal with a perfect pass to the top of the crease for the first-period putaway.

Auto: Colton Herta stopped an early slide, overcame two late pit stops and eventually pulled away from Simon Pagenaud on Saturday to win the wild, wacky and wet IndyCar Grand Prix. Herta beat the three-time race winner by 3.0983 seconds amid rooster tails coming from the saturated road course. The 22-year-old California driver won for the first time this season and seventh time overall.

Golf: Sebastián Muñoz is atop the leaderboar­d again at the Byron Nelson. Muñoz shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday and was 21 under, a stroke ahead of hometown favorite Jordan Spieth. Joaquin Niemann is another shot back in third.

NFL: Former Seahawks safety and current free agent Earl Thomas was arrested in Texas over an alleged violation of a protective order. Police said Thomas violated the court order by sending threatenin­g messages to a woman about her and her children, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
