Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
Two playoff teams, you can talk yourself into the plus money with the Bruins. The problem is the Bruins are having a rough week where they’ve averaged one goal in their last three games. That’s not going to fly on the road against these Hurricanes. The Bruins have also struggled on the road all season. I’ll take the Canes and the PL for max betting value given the Bruins’ struggles recently.
