Jose Ramon Exposito recommends a forecast for the NHL.
Carolina Hurricanes arrives at this meeting with enough scrolls to be the favorite of this series, being the winner of the Metropolitan Division and the second best record of the Eastern conference, during the regular season they had a great performance playing at home with a mark of 29-12 and in front of the Bruins they were very dominant giving them two strong beatings by 7-1 and 6-0 both as visitors, one of the aspects to take into account is that in those two clashes the goalkeeper by Hurricanes was Frederik Anderson undisputed starter who will not be available due to injury, however, his substitute Antti Raanta has done a great job leaving a 15-5 season record with a 2.45 goals allowed average and a 91.2 save percentage, so that aspect generates confidence and security.
We can observe two sets of very well structured defensive systems, Hurricanes finished as the best defense of the year being First in goals allowed only 2.44 and shots 28.2 one of the best brands in recent years, the Bruins meanwhile were third in shots on goal allowing only 28.7 on average and fourth best in terms of goals conceded with 2.66 per match played.
Although the two regular season meetings were very open in favor of the Hurricanes, the postseason is presented with much more parity and preparation so we can expect a more disputed game and with low scoring for our betting line.
