Boston ranks eighth in the Eastern Conference recording 8.4 points per game, averaging 3 goals and 5.3 assists.

BETTING TRENDS
Boston are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.
Boston are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Carolina.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Carolina's last 6 games against Boston.
Carolina are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Bruins took control of the series at home beating the Canes in the 2 games but now they return to the PNC Arena where the Hurricanes are winning the 72% of the time this season. With the Bruins carrying some momentum this should be a much closer game and with Carolina scoring 2 gpg in their last 2 games I think the best play is the under as I think it will be a more defensive game.
PICK: Under 6 (-115)
