LiontipsCarolina vs Boston. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL playoffs (May 11, 2022).
Command Analysis
Carolina started the series with two confident victories at their home arena. The fans hoped to see the Hurricanes win four straight games and advance to the next round, but the team suffered two defeats at Boston, conceding a total of nine goals.
The Canes failed to convert their chances against the Bruins in the two away games. They also really struggle without main goaltender Andersen - Raanta doesn't have the same amount of experience. Today, Rod BrindAmour's men will strive to capitalize on their home advantage and get the upper hand in the match.
Boston don't have a very powerful team and mostly rely on their «Big 3» - Marchand, Pastrnak, and Bergeron. In the last game, these three forwards participated in each goal of the Bruins and together chalked up 10 points.
Bruce Cassidy's men are quite good at scoring during power play. However, the Bruins aren't as successful on their travels, and probably won't be so confident in Raleigh.
