Carolina Hurricanes Odds
The Carolina Hurricanes aim to even their best-of-seven Eastern Conference opening-round series on Thursday when they play Game 2 against the Boston Bruins in Toronto.
The Hurricanes, who dropped a 4-3 decision in two overtimes on Wednesday, have lost seven in a row to the Bruins — including a four-game sweep in the conference finals last year — dating to March 5, 2019. Sebastian Aho set up defenseman Joel Edmundson’s goal in the first period on Wednesday to boost his postseason point total to nine (three goals, six assists) in 2020 and 21 (eight goals, 13 assists) in 19 career playoff games.
Andrei Svechnikov was held off the scoresheet for the first time this postseason on Wednesday. He mustered just one assist in the four-game series loss to the Bruins in May 2019.
Boston Bruins Odds
The Boston Bruins bid to continue their mastery of the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday when they play Game 2 of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference opening-round series in Toronto.
Patrice Bergeron provided the honors on Wednesday in Boston’s seventh straight victory over Carolina, scoring early in the second overtime of a 4-3 win in the series opener. The four-time Selke Trophy recipient’s fourth career playoff overtime goal established a franchise record, passing Mel Hill (3) and Terry O’Reilly (3).
Linemates David Pastrnak (one goal, one assist) and Brad Marchand (two assists) posted their first points of the postseason on Wednesday. Both players also set up a goal in the third period of the lone regular-season meeting between the teams, a 2-0 win by the Bruins on Dec. 3.
