Key Storylines
Recent Form
Carolina has opened the season strongly at 7‑3‑0 and has won a number of high‑scoring affairs. They are averaging 3.90 goals per game while conceding 3.00 goals per game. Their power‑play has been a weak point, with a 9.7% conversion rate. They will try to improve that number to get another win on the road today. Boston comes into this game with a 6‑7‑0 record and they have won two games in a row coming into this contest. The Bruins average 3.31 goals per game and give up more than that at 3.62 goals per game.
Goaltending
Goaltending remains a question mark for both squads. Both teams have starting goaltenders with GAAs above 3.00 for the season so far. Frederik Andersen and Jeremy Swayman both need to step up if their teams are going to come up with a win in this important Eastern Conference game.

Final Thoughts
My expectation for this game is for Carolina to win and cover the puckline on the road. Both goaltenders need to be better in this matchup than they have been for the majority of the season so far. I’m banking on Andersen to be the netminder who accomplishes that, as the Canes should improve to 8-3-0 for the season.
