The Boston Bruins continue to pick up wins as they are currently 9-1 in their last ten games while also ranking second within the Atlantic division.

This was the final goal by the Panthers as Aho sealed the deal in the end for a Carolina team that had 26 shots on goal compared to 34 for Florida. Nonetheless, their defense, which ranks in the top ten of teams in the league, got a huge performance in goal from Petre Mrazek (16-12-3) as he finished with 31 saves for a .912 save percentage.
Carolina also picked up a 5-3 win over the Bruins in their last meeting in addition to winning four straight road games entering this matchup. During this time, the Hurricanes have posted an average of over 4 goals per game while the defense allowed just a total of seven, total.
Boston Bruins
The Bruins had two goals from Ryan Donato in their last meeting with the Hurricanes as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead early. However, the Hurricanes not only stepped up on defense, but, also on the offensive end to score four straight goals to take the lead and seal a high-scoring victory.
Brad Marchand also got the scoring started early for the Bruins versus the lowly New Jersey Devils in their last outing in scoring his 27th goal of the season. However, the Bruins were not able to find the net agains despite outschooting the Devils 30-20 in the contest.

Tukka Rask (22-8-4) was perfect in net for the Bruins while the team was able to post their ninth goal during a three-game winning streak. On the other hand, the Bruins have held their opponents to just two goals during this time.
Marchand has scored a goal for the Bruins in each of the last three games for the team on 12 shots. He has also racked up five points during this time as the Bruins certainly look to avenge a two-goal loss to the Hurricanes early on in the season, as pointed out.

4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Under
Look for this contest to be a very competitive one to where they defenses will indeed take center stage. And while the over was the result in thier last meeting, I will back the under in this contest as both the Bruins and the Hurricanes enter this matchup playing very well on the defensive end. In fact, they are each ranked high as it relates to goals scored per night along with shots on goal. With that being said, look for the score to remain low amongst these two squads on Tuesday as the Bruins will pick up a slim, 2-1 victory in the end.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Hurricanes 1 – Bruins 2
While the Hurricanes continue to play well on the road, the Bruins have also been stellar at TD Bank Arena lately as well. With that being the case, look for Carolina to battle for the win, only to fall behind late while losing just their first road game in five outings.
