This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Despite posting the best record in the NHL during the regular season before the shutdown, Boston is the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference because of a poor round robin where it went 0-3. Home ice is non-existent, so it is not a horrible fall. The Bruins swept the Hurricanes in the playoffs last year and have gone 6-0 in the last six meetings with the combined score of 23-8. Carolina swept the Rangers 3-0 to move into the five seed after sitting in the No. 7 spot prior to the restart. The Hurricanes were third in the league in shots per game but middle of the pack in goals per game and they will be facing a premier goaltender in Tuukka Rask who led the NHL with a 2.12 GAA. 10* (6) Boston Bruins
