The Carolina Hurricanes will travel to TD Garden on Monday to take on the Boston Bruins in what promises to be an interesting Eastern Conference showdown. Carolina (12‑5‑1) comes in as the favorites and for good reason with the way they have played lately. Boston (12‑8‑0) has played well at home and is more than capable of making things interesting.

Key Storylines
Recent Form
The Hurricanes enter this game with solid momentum, posting a 12‑5‑1 record. Their road form has been strong, going 6-3-0 on the road. Boston is sitting at 12‑8‑0. The Bruins have had their ups and downs, but they are 8-3-0 at home thanks to key contributors like David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie heating up.
In their last meeting earlier this month, Boston beat Carolina 2–1. The Bruins scored twice in the third period and relied on strong goaltending from Jeremy Swayman to hold off the Canes late. That result could give the Bruins some confidence, but Carolina clearly has the firepower to respond.
Goaltending
Carolina’s veteran goaltender Frederik Andersen is a veteran presence but has struggled this season. He has a GAA of 3.10 and a save percentage of .886. Boston leans on Jeremy Swayman, who has been a workhorse in net. He has a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage, giving the Bruins a slight edge in goal.
Key Skaters
Carolina has an impressive top line featuring Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, who lead the Canes in points and goals this season. Boston’s top line of Morgan Geekie, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak remains critical as well. Pastrnak has 26 points already this season and will look to continue his strong start to the year.

Final Thoughts
