Boston Bruins @ Carolina Hurricanes Preview

The Boston Bruins are looking to break out of their recent slump as they face the Carolina Hurricanes, who have been dominant at home. The Bruins have struggled on the road, with a 10-16-3 record, and are coming off a tough 3-6 loss to the Nashville Predators. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes boast a strong 23-7-1 home record and are riding the momentum of back-to-back wins, including a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Boston will be without captain Brad Marchand due to an upper-body injury, leaving a significant void in their lineup. David Pastrnak, who has been a bright spot for the Bruins with 32 goals and 45 assists, will need to step up against a stingy Carolina defense. On the other side, Sebastian Aho leads the Hurricanes with 23 goals and 36 assists, and goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov has been solid, boasting a .903 save percentage.

Both teams have trended towards lower-scoring games recently, with the under hitting in six of Boston's last nine games and four of Carolina's last five. The Hurricanes also dominated the Bruins in their last meeting, an 8-2 victory on October 31, 2024, where Andrei Svechnikov scored two power-play goals.

Notably, the Hurricanes have been dominant at home, winning four of their last five home games against Boston, including an 8-2 blowout earlier this season.

Pick: Hurricanes -1.5 (+100, Caesars)

widget-odds-nhl-ats-5358-BOS-CAR

The Carolina Hurricanes are the clear favorites in this matchup, given their strong home record and Boston's struggles on the road. The Hurricanes' aggressive forecheck and solid goaltending from Pyotr Kochetkov give them a significant edge. Additionally, Boston's recent form, including a 1-7 record in their last eight games, makes it difficult to back them, especially without Brad Marchand. The Hurricanes should cover the -1.5 spread in what could be another dominant home performance.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. David Pastrnak Over 3.5 Shots on Goal

David Pastrnak has been a consistent offensive force for the Bruins, averaging 4.5 shots on goal over his last 10 games. With Brad Marchand out, Pastrnak will likely take on an even larger role in Boston's attack.

2. Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Points

As Carolina's leading scorer, Aho has been instrumental in their success. He has recorded at least one point in six of his last 10 games and will look to exploit Boston's struggling defense.

3. Pyotr Kochetkov Over 27.5 Saves

Kochetkov has been solid in net for the Hurricanes, and with Boston averaging 27.5 shots per game, he should have plenty of opportunities to rack up saves.
