The current betting odds have the Bruins listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bruins have looked really good in their games this season with their 46-17-15 record overall which has them at the top of their division in the East right now with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also looked great on home ice with their 24-9-6 home record. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have also looked great in their games this season with their 49-22-7 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL too. They have also been a good road team this year with their 22-12-3 road record, but they haven't been at their best in those games. Both of these teams have already clinched a playoff spot and both are still in the race for the Presidents' Trophy this year. Both teams have also been really hot coming into this one as the Hurricanes are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games while the Bruins are 7-3-0, but the Bruins do have more momentum on their side right now. The Bruins have won 4 games in a row while the Hurricanes have only won 2 games in a row and the Bruins are also coming off a tough win against the Panthers in their last one which will help in this game since it will be more like a playoff atmosphere. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bruins to win this game.
