Hurricanes at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 3, Bruins 2

Money line

The HURRICANES (+102) are slight underdogs, but they have shown very few signs of slowing down against the Bruins (-125). While yes, the change of venue should help the home side, Boston was outscored 13-1 in two home games against Carolina in two regular-season losses.

Against the spread

The Hurricanes +1.5 (-270) will cost you over two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that's just too much risk for not enough reward. If you like Carolina, and you should, play them straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly. The Over is the dominant trend for the Canes, but the Under is 8-3-2 in the past 13 for the Bruins, and 5-0-1 in their past six games at home. The change to Swayman should slow down the Carolina offense somewhat, and Kochetkov certainly looked capable in Game 2.
