In a meeting between two divisional leaders, the Carolina Hurricanes will host the Boston Bruins at Lenovo Center on Tuesday. This is a fascinating matchup, though it’s hard to look past Carolina.
The reigning Stanley Cup champions have done very little wrong so far, leading the league with 20 points. They have posted a 9-2-2 record and have the league’s fourth-best offense and defense.
Carolina has been dominant despite injuries to key forwards Seth Jarvis, Taylor Hall, and Jordan Staal. The team has also been without promising defenseman Alexander Nikishin, who was an unsigned restricted free agent until last week.
Jarvis made his season debut a couple of games back, and Hall is expected to be available against his former team on Tuesday. Carolina now boasts an even deeper lineup of offensive threats.
Sitting on 19 points, Boston isn’t far behind Carolina. They have the league's second-best defense and third-best offense. However, many of the Bruins’ wins have come against lowly opposition. Their matchups against top teams like Minnesota and Ottawa ended in 4-1 defeats.
