Boston Bruins vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. I just don’t trust the Bruins right now, especially on the road where they’ve been less effective all season long and while the defense has held up its end it’s still not enough in their current form to keep the Bruins afloat here. Give me the Hurricanes.
