The game identified in the question appears to be misdated or misidentified. On October 3, 1991, the Boston Bruins hosted the New York Rangers and won 5–3; the Carolina Hurricanes franchise was then the Hartford Whalers, and no Hartford–Boston game is listed for that date. Therefore, no confident game-specific milestones or historical events can be reported for a Carolina/Hartford–Boston matchup on 1991-10-03.
