Bruins Look Lost

The Bruins had high hopes heading into the season, but they have been disappointing all year. The Bruins have lost two games against the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators in a row. The Bruins scored three goals in the last game, but the defense gave up six. Jeremy Swayman was in goal, and he was awful, saving 24 of the 29 shots he faced. David Pastrnak finished with two assists. The last win came three games ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

Away from home this season, the Bruins have only ten wins.

David Pastrnak has been the top player, scoring 32 goals and adding 45 assists. Brad Marchand is dealing with an upper body, and he’s out until at least mid-March. Jeremy Swayman could get the start in goal, and he sits with an 18-21-6 record, and he’s giving up 3.0 goals per game. The Bruins have lost the last six games that he has been in goal. 

Hurricanes Have Confidence

The Hurricanes have confidence heading into this game, and they have won two straight games. Two games ago against the Calgary Flames, they won 2-1 in overtime, and in the last game against the Detroit Red Wings, they also won 2-1. Jordan Martinook scored a goal and added an assist. Frederik Anderson saved 24 of the 25 shots that he faced. Over the last four games, the Hurricanes have given up only seven goals in total. The defense is going to need to be key here.
