Key Stats
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes enter tonight’s game with an 8-1-1 record in their last ten games. Frederik Andersen will be in the net tonight for Carolina. Andersen has a record of 11-1-0 this year, allows 1.88 goals per game, and has a SV% of .930. Sebastian Aho leads the team with 85 points, a Plus/Minus of 31, 52 assists, and 33 goals this season. Brandon Lemieux has a team-high 62 penalty minutes.
Boston Bruins
Boston is 6-4-0 in its last ten games and will have Jeremy Swayman tonight at goalie. Swayman has a record of 24-8-8 this year, allowing 2.56 goals per game, and has a SV% of .916. David Pastrnak leads the team with 104 points, a Plus/Minus of 24, 46 goals, and 58 assists this season. Charlie McAvoy has a team-high 95 penalty minutes.
Game Prediction
These two teams met at the end of January, and Carolina won 3-2. Both goalies have been solid this year, so we will likely see a low-scoring game. Pastrnak has been red hot lately and is the difference-maker in this one. Considering how well each team is defensively, the safe bet would be riding the over.
Final Pick
Over 5.5 (-112)
