Boston at Carolina

This is a good first round matchup for a Boston squad that was 25-13-1 on the road. The Bruins are fourth in the NHL in goals surrendered, third in shots on goal allowed, and eighth in save percentage, while the offense has plenty of talent and experience with captain Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, Taylor Hall, and David Pastrnak (club-best 40 goals). The Bruins are 14-3 after a loss of three or more goals, plus 58-25 working on two days of rest. Carolina is 11-17 when playing with three or more days of rest. Carolina is also on a 5-14 run against Boston, including losing four of the last five in this building. Make it a Max Play on Boston.
