Boston Bruins
Bruins vs Hurricanes: Preview; Betting Odds And Picks
After beating the Carolina Hurricanes for the first time in eight regular season games with a 4-1 win in Carolina last Thursday, the Boston Bruins will host the Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
If the Bruins wish to win the rematch at TD Garden, and earn just their second win against the Carolina Hurricanes in ten tries, they know they will need to be at their best and playing playoff hockey.
“They’re a very consistent group over there,” Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk said after practice on Monday. “I think that you gotta give them a lot of credit with how I’ve seen them grow, especially since I first came into the league (2017-18) with the kind of culture and all that stuff is over there. They play a really hard game, so if you’re not on your toes and in your game plan, they’ll make you pay for it, and they come in waves. So, I think that gives lots of teams trouble, and that’s why they’ve had success.”
