Shane’s Free Pick

With the Bruins being on the second night of a back to back I expect they are going to have some issues. Tired legs are going to hurt their defense, and the Hurricanes are going to get over their season average of 3.25 goals. This is going to be an easy victory for the Hurricanes here. Back Carolina on the money line.
