Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

The Carolina Hurricanes, with a solid season performance of 47 wins, 21 losses, and 7 draws, are looking to extend their winning run at home to five games as they prepare to welcome the Boston Bruins.

The Bruins are coming off a robust season themselves, holding a record of 44 victories, 17 losses, and 15 draws, and have been particularly strong on the road with a 21-8-9 record.

In their last meeting, it was the Hurricanes who came out on top, securing a narrow 3-2 victory.

For Carolina, standout performances include Sebastian Aho, who has racked up 33 goals and 52 assists, and Jake Guentzel, who has contributed significantly with 2 goals and 14 assists over their past 10 games.

On the side of the Bruins, David Pastrnak, with an impressive tally of 46 goals and 58 assists, alongside Justin Brazeau, who has gained 4 goals and 1 assist in their last 10 games, are key to their success.

Reflecting on their recent performances, the Hurricanes have managed to score an average of 3.8 goals per match over their last 10 games, whereas the Bruins have netted an average of 2.9 goals in the same period.

Both teams are facing challenges due to injuries with key players sidelined. The Hurricanes' Jesper Fast is currently day-to-day due to an upper-body injury. The Bruins will miss the services of Justin Brazeau (upper-body), Milan Lucic (dealing with a personal matter), Pat Maroon (back injury), Derek Forbort (undisclosed), and Matthew Poitras (shoulder).
