Hurricanes vs. Bruins Moneyline Pick
- Bruins +155 (4 units)
The Bruins come into this game winners of eight of their last nine games entering this contest to surge into the top spot in the Atlantic Division standings. Boston has been clicking offensively as Swayman has steadily improved after a sluggish start to the year. Meanwhile, Carolina has dropped two of their last three entering this game and already lost to the Bruins in Beantown this month. The Hurricanes are struggling with the man advantage this season and they will have their issues in that department against the Bruins here. Sprinkle on the puckline if you want to be a little more conservative, but back Boston in this contest.
Hurricanes vs. Bruins Over/Under Pick
- Over 6 (4 units)
Carolina has seen the over post an 11-7 mark in their 18 games so far this season. The Hurricanes have an average of 6.61 goals per game this season and that number slides to 5.67 goals per game on the road in their nine games away from home.
