Boston haven't lost at home so far this season, moreover, they won most home games in regulation. Carolina are currently in poor form, and we doubt they will be able to stop the Bruins. Most head-to-head games were won by the hosts, and we expect them to get the upper hand today, too.

Carolina had a difficult time finding the back of the net in recent games, and in the last one they didn't score at all. Boston are solid on defense and should not allow more than two goals.
