The Boston Bruins have a significant advantage in personal meetings and in the series they also lead with the score (2-1). However, it is worth considering the fact that in the last three games "Carolina" looked pretty good. We want to note that absolutely all matches between these teams are played for a total less than 6 goals.

Carolina

Houston has smeared the ending of the regular season. Russell Westbrook was injured in the confrontation with San Antonio. Without him, the Rockets lost to the Spurs (105-123), Indiana (104-108) and Philadelphia (96-134). This time, James Harden failed to drag Houston on himself. Perhaps he decided not to give all his 100% and keep his strength for the playoffs. D’Anthony’s men will still play their first match against Oklahoma without Westbrook. Apart from Russell, Sefolsh and Nwaba will not be able to help their team.

Boston

Boston were defeated in four out of six games and did not look their best during the playoffs. However, in the series against Carolina, the Bruins are trying their best to at least advance to the next round. Note that before the meeting with the “Hurricanes” the team could not open the defense of other opponents more than two times and now they even succeed in doing something in unequal compositions and, in particular, in the majority. Bruce Cassidy’s team have always been famous for their defensive style of hockey, so it’s not surprising that the Mishki score little or concede a goal. We emphasize that now the main leaders in the lineup are Brad Marchand and David Kreichi, who scored six points each. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?

Prediction

We think that the loss of Andrei Svechnikov will seriously affect Carolina's attacking play and it will be even more difficult for them to open up Boston's already impenetrable defense. Most likely, the Bruins will now feel much more confident and will achieve success in the upcoming meeting, but the fight will again be held with a minimum number of goals.
