The current betting odds have the Bruins listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bruins have looked great in their games this season with their 9-2-1 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the East. They have been a good road team too with their 4-1-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have looked great in their games this season with their 9-2-2 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the East. They have looked good on home ice too with their 2-1-1 home record this season. The Hurricanes are the defending Stanley Cup champions and they have been rolling lately after a slow start to the season. They are now 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and coming off a 4-0 win over the Blues, but this isn't a great situation for them. They are coming back home after a long road trip and they had some trouble even though they ended the trip strong. They have only played 4 home games this season though and haven't been crushing opponents there. The Bruins are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and they have been rolling lately too. They have won 2 games in a row now and they are coming off a 6-4 win over the Sharks in their last one. Their offense has been rolling with a ton of goals scored this season, but their defense has also been great as they haven't been giving up many goals and that has made them really tough to beat this year. The Bruins have momentum on their side right now and they can take advantage of this 1st game back at home for the Hurricanes. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bruins to win this game.

“We were down by a goal (in the third period) and then we retake the lead and stay calm. Even though we took two penalties, we stayed composed and end up getting the lead before the end, so it’s impressive how mature this group is sometimes during certain stages and it’s fun to see. We know we were far from our best today, but it’s OK because we ended up winning. It’s hard to win in this league, so we’ll take the two points, but we also know we can be much better than that.” - David Pastrnak after their win against the Sharks in their game on Saturday. 

“We just saw an effort all the way around. When we had a couple breakdowns, ‘Koots’ was great. We had the one penalty there and he made a couple saves and he was great behind the net with the puck touches. The goaltending was on display of how you do it, tied the momentum, get it going in our direction, a couple big saves when you need it because the game can change so quickly and it goes the other way. He’s obviously the first star of the night for me.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s win against the Blues in their game on Saturday.
