BOSTON — The Bruins’ injuries appeared to finally catch up with them.

Missing three top-six forwards and their best defenseman, Boston was especially out of sync on Monday against Carolina at TD Garden.

The Bruins stayed even for a period, but the Hurricanes scored two goals in the second period and Boston spent the rest of the game trying to dig out and fell, 3-1.

The loss snapped Jeremy Swayman’s perfect November, ending his streak at five games and the Bruins’ home winning streak at six.

Boston heads out on an eight-day road trip beginning Wednesday in Anaheim.

Marco Sturm tried juggling his lines, but nothing clicked.

After an evenly-played first period, the Hurricanes pulled ahead 1-0 when Jordan Staal beat Swayman through traffic, 8:25 into the second period.
