Boston vs Carolina Prediction: the Hurricanes Can't Let Their Points Slip Away

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Boston vs Carolina, which will take place on April 6th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston

It's clear that the Boston team is gunning for that Buffalo record this season. The Bears have now racked up ten losses in a row. With these kinds of results, Joe Sacco's team is currently in last place in the Eastern Conference table. But there is one plus side to this – the team will have an advantage at the upcoming draft. In their last two games, they lost to Washington by one puck and to Montreal by three.

Carolina

Carolina needs to hang onto second place in the East. Ottawa could be a playoff contender, which would obviously be good for the Hurricanes. But the lower-ranked Toronto is trying to dislodge the Hurricanes. The opponents have the same number of points – 96, so every point now counts. After beating Detroit last time, the team were doing better. Before that, Carolina had a winning streak of three games.

H2H Meetings

Boston is a pretty easy opponent for Carolina. In the last five head-to-head meetings, the Hurricanes have won four and the Bears just the one.

Bookmakers' Options

The bookmaker company 1xbet thinks the Carolina team will be stronger in the upcoming NHL meeting. You can bet on them to win in regulation time (1.74) or in overtime and a shootout (1.40). If you fancy the Boston team to win (including OT and BUL), you can get 3.00, and if you think they'll win in three periods, you can get 4.01.

The pros at the bookie's office set the total at 5.5 pucks. For a bet on the total over 5.5, they're offering a cool 1.94, and for the opposite bet, it's 1.94.

Expert Betting Tips

It's no surprise that Carolina is the clear favorite in this duel. Boston's game is a bit of a struggle to watch right now. Lindholm and McAvoy, the Bruins' leaders, are in the infirmary, and without them, Joe Sacco can't find the right balance between offence and defence. Carolina looks more complete and is clearly well motivated for the tournament. We think the Hurricanes will easily get three points. We suggest betting on a win.
