Boston at Carolina

Boston comes off a road win last night but that was with ace goalie Tuukka Rask, who will sit tonight. The Bruins haven't had a lot of depth due to injuries this season and are 1-7 when playing without rest. Boston is #26 in goals scored, #29 on the power play and plays its third straight road contest. Carolina has good balance, ranked #12 in goals allowed, and excellent special teams, ranked ninth on the power play and tops in killing penalties. The Hurricanes have a nine-game points streak at home where they are 9-3-1, along with a 5-2-3 run the last 10 games overall. Play Carolina.
