The Hurricanes remain without starting goalie Freddie Andersen due to a lower-body injury. Carolina’s backup goalie, Antti Raanta, suffered an injury in Game 2 following a collision with David Pastrnak. 22-year-old Pyotr Kochetkov has taken over the Canes’ crease duties.

On the Boston side, the Bruins are currently without top-four blueliner Hampus Lindholm. The ex- Duck is reportedly experiencing concussion-like symptoms following a hit by Andrei Svechnikov in Game 2. Lindholm’s status for Game 4 is uncertain.

Hurricanes vs Bruins Betting Trends

Betting trends can be a useful tool to find an edge in the NHL odds. While Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 series lead over Boston, they continue to struggle in the hostile environment of TD Garden. The Hurricanes are 3-10 in the last 13 meetings in Boston.

Further to Carolina’s struggles in Beantown, home-ice advantage in Hurricanes vs Bruins always tends to be important. The home team is 5-2 in the past seven meetings, while the team listed as the betting favorite is 25-8 in the last 33 meetings.

Carolina is 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog, while the Bruins are 36-16 in their last 52 games as a home favorite. During the regular season, the Canes owned a 25-12-4 road record, while Boston went 26-13-2 at home.

Game 4 Hurricanes vs Bruins Pick

The Bruins desperately needed a win in Game 3 to grab some momentum in the series. It’s a great sign for Boston that both Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak scored in that game, while Jeremy Swayman held down the fort in goal.

The advanced metrics suggest the Bruins are a solid bet to even up their playoff series with the Hurricanes. Bruce Cassidy’s team has had an edge in puck possession and high-danger chances. Furthermore, Swayman has the potential to outplay Kochetkov.

Boston and Carolina are going to have a hard time winning in each other’s buildings due to the hostile environments. The Bruins’ track record at TD Garden versus the Hurricanes makes them a solid bet to even the series in the Game 4 Hurricanes vs Bruins odds.
