Carolina has 76 points in her piggy bank after 62 starts and retains the second place in the Metropolitan Division. The nearest competitors in the face of the Devils scored four points less and played one more match against Keynes. Rod Brindamore's team started very poorly after the break and lost two matches in a row without scoring a single point. Gradually, the hosts came to their senses and beat Buffalo (5:2) and Calgary (2:1, OT), losing to the guests from Edmonton (1:3). Before returning home, Jordan Staal's squad took two points in Michigan with great difficulty (2:1).
After the trade of Martin Nechas for Mikko Rantanen, the Hurricanes are not showing a strong offensive game. In the last five games, they scored only nine goals, while they managed to win three times.

Frederik Andersen recently returned to action after an injury and is still just getting into shape. The Dane blocked 91.13% of shots on his possessions and made one shutout in 12 starts.

Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
The bears slipped to the 12th position in the conference and lost one of the leaders of the attack, which was already not happy with the high performance. Boston has scored 64 points in 63 games, while so far the team from Massachusetts is separated by only two points from New York, which is in eighth position. Joe Sacco's men are in bad shape and have won only once in their last eight matches. In early March, the Bears were able to defeat the Penguins in Pennsylvania (3:2), but then the Bruins lost dry in Minneapolis (0:1). Before the trip, we lost heavily to Nashville in the Role of Mishka (3:6) in the home arena. They held on well during the match, but failed in the end and conceded three unanswered goals.
After Brad Marchand's injury, the visitors practically stopped scoring. In two meetings without their leader, they scored only three accurate hits, while in the previous four starts they scored only seven times. David Pastrniak single-handedly drags his teammates and ranks fourth in the list of the league's top scorers. The Czech striker has scored 77 goals (32+45) this season.
Jeremy Swayman remains Boston's undisputed number one, despite a large number of mistakes during the current regular season. The goalkeeper of the US national team reflected only 89.60% of attacks, but in some matches he was very good, so he has three dry fights to his credit. Jonas Korpisalo rarely appears on the ice and does not stand up to competition.

1.70Tip and bets
Although Carolina won in the last two matches, the victories went to Rod Brindamore's wards at a huge cost. The hosts have stopped scoring and are enjoying the excellent play of Frederik Andersen and Petr Kochetkov. Boston, which is gradually moving away from the playoff zone, is coming to visit the Hurricanes, very hungry for points. Yes, the bears were left without an attack leader, but they know how to play anti-hockey and are able to dry up the game in order to get at least one scoring point. We believe that Joe Sacco's players will not be defeated in the Role. We suggest betting on a positive head start on the second one.
Our betting tip is for Boston towinwith an Asian handicap (+1.5) in 1.83
Betting on an individual total
Carolina has slowed down its attack a lot and has only scored more than three times in the last five matches. Boston knows how to play defense, and now it remains almost the only weapon in the hands of the guests. The bears should play as disciplined as possible, and we don't think they will allow their opponent to score four or more accurate shots.
Betting Tip - Carolina's individual total is less than 3.5 goals in 1.72
Bet on the total
Both teams play indoor hockey during this part of the season. The hosts stopped scoring in large numbers, but the goalkeepers of the team got into good shape. Boston doesn't have an offensive leader, so without Brad Marchand, the Bears are essentially forced to constantly think about protecting their goal. In our opinion, the duel in the Role will not be bright. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.97
