Coming off the back of a 4-3 defeat in which we saw both the best and the worst of the Carolina Hurricanes and their team, we now get to watch the Canes take on the Boston Bruins in a potential preview of the first round of the playoffs. Boston will be without some major pieces and the Canes will be getting one of their best players back, but this will not be as straightforward as it seems.
Historically, the Carolina Hurricanes have not had a great time when they have met the Bruins. With the Bruins coming to the end of their Stanley Cup contention window, the Hurricanes now have a chance to make amends for all of those losses and push back for all the abuse they have suffered in their existence.
