This is a 10* on BOSTON

Boston had the most points in the league (100) when the season stopped in March. Three consecutive losses since the restart have them as the 4-seed in the Eastern Conference. It can be argued that’s unfair, but don’t expect any sympathy from the Carolina Hurricanes, who are thinking about revenge after being swept by the Bruins in last year’s Eastern Conference Final. A lot of momentum is with the ‘Canes right now after they won three straight games over the Rangers, the only sweep of the qualification round. But it would be foolish to discount the defending Eastern Conference Champs. Just go ahead and reread the first sentence of this analysis. There is also the question of “rust” for Carolina as they have not played a game in a full week. The Hurricanes have lost to the Bruins six straight times and have beaten them just once in 10 tries. This is a great “buy low” opportunity on the Bruins. Play on BOSTON
