Carolina vs Boston: prediction for the NHL game
The Hurricanes go against the Bruins in the final game of their last-16 match. Which team will progress to the quarterfinals? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
USACarolina haven't yet lost to the Bruins at home, but they suffered defeats every time they traveled to Boston. In the last game, the Hurricanes conceded five goals and struggled to create scoring chances.
Moreover, despite the Canes' efforts, the opponents were able to take advantage of the power play. Surely, one of the main problems for the club is the injury of their main goaltender - Raanta and Kochetkov aren't as reliable as Andersen.
Boston Bruins
USABoston have a similar situation - they are great at home, but can't win at Carolina. Throughout the regular season, the Bruins were less convincing and relied too much on their leaders. If the Big 3 is having a bad game, Boston usually lose.
Bruce Cassidy's men have a system, but they completely abandon it on their travels. In all three games away, the Bruins made many mistakes in their zone and allowed five goals.
