My Prediction
Carolina Hurricanes by 2All right, let's shimmy into this showdown: Boston Bruins heading onto Carolina Hurricanes’ ice.
Between the pipes for the Bruins, we've got Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo. Swayman's been stopping pucks like they're insults, with a save percentage of 90.1% last month, while Korpisalo is equally stubborn with a small edge at 90.6%. On the opposite end, we're seeing Pyotr Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen in net for the Hurricanes. Andersen is causing quite the storm with an impressive 91.7% save percentage last month.
Now let's breeze through the line-up that's going to make this interesting. For the Bruins, we're highlighting David Pastrnak, producing like a ketchup bottle — the goals and assists slowly oozing out. Morgan Geekie is a bit of a revelation, with 5 goals last month and a positive plus-minus to boot. On the Carolina side, Sebastian Aho is all a-go, pocketing 6 goals and 2 assists last month. Seth Jarvis is not to be ignored, scoring thrice and assisting thrice in the previous month.
When we look back at the good ol' days, the recent past matchups are playing in favor of the Hurricanes. They have won the majority of the meetups, and some by quite the margin.
Talking about the regular season? Someone's been skipping their spinach. The Bruins stand at 28-8-27, which is as balanced as a tightrope walker on a windy day. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are seemingly in a rush to glory, posting an impressive record at 36-4-22.
And as of late, they've been hot enough to make the devil sweat. The Bruins appear to be in a bit of a rough patch, whereas the Hurricanes seem to have pulled out the Weather Dominator and are controlling the climate of each game, with their recent record being far more sunny.
