This game is lined at a coin flip price with -110 odds on both sides. The total for this game is set at 6 goals.
Injuries

For Carolina, Ondrej Kase remains out with a concussion, while Antti Raanta is out indefinitely and Andrei Svechnikov is out for the season with a knee injury.
Matchup History
Carolina’s 4-1 win over Boston back on January 29th, 2023, made it six straight meetings without back-to-back winners and the 9th straight win for the home team in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Boston is 8-2 in their last 10 games played on no rest and 52-15 in their last 67 games overall while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Carolina is 8-1 in their last 9 games against the Atlantic division and 49-19 in their last 68 home games while the under is 7-1-1 in their last 9 home games.
Pick
I’m sticking with the under here. This is a great matchup and I’m fully anticipating a playoff-type atmosphere in this game with the first to 3 winning this one. I think the only reason Carolina went over the total on Saturday is because Toronto’s goaltending is in shambles right now and I don’t expect life to be as easy with Boston on the other side. Give me the under here.
