Command Analysis

Boston Bruins

Boston currently top the Eastern Conference standings. The team was enjoying a long winning streak, but after confident victories over Chicago (6:1) and Tampa (5:3), the Bruins suffered a defeat at Florida (2:5). This was the first time in the current season, when the Bruins lost by a three-goal margin. However, the team is yet to lose at home. Nine of the home games they won in regulation, scoring at least four goals each time.

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina has endured a four-game losing streak and dropped to 6th in the East. After three straight defeats in overtime, the Hurricanes got crushed by Colorado with a score of 0:4. Lately, the team often struggles to deliver goals and make use of their powerplay opportunities. Plus, the Canes won only four away games in regulation this season.

In 3 out of 5 games against Boston, the Canes scored under 3 goals.

Ставка1st period: total under 1.5 goals

Tip and bets
Boston haven't lost at home so far this season, moreover, they won most home games in regulation. Carolina are currently in poor form, and we doubt they will be able to stop the Bruins. Most head-to-head games were won by the hosts, and we expect them to get the upper hand today, too.
Our prediction - Boston to win
Carolina had a difficult time finding the back of the net in recent games, and in the last one they didn't score at all. Boston are solid on defense and should not allow more than two goals.
Second bet - Carolina IT under 2.5 goals
