The Carolina Hurricanes should be favored at home, where they've been a buzz saw dating back to last season. With that said, these are two of the better teams in the league, and whichever side was getting plus money was the side I was going to back. It just so happens the Bruins are the best team in the league and the most profitable team for bettors. You're not going to get this chance much for the rest of the season. Give me the Bruins based on the price.
