Carolina Hurricanes vs Boston Bruins Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 11/17/25, 3:42 PM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

The NHL Eastern Conference will deliver next Monday night the second game in the regular season series between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Boston Bruins, which will be played at the TD Garden at 06:00 pm CST. In this matter, this game is expected to be more spectacular than the first one they had two weeks ago, as both offenses have built an interesting momentum since then.

However, the pressure will be on the Carolina Hurricanes, as they haven’t been able to win any of their last three games in regulation time due to their lack of defensive effectiveness. In this regard, they have conceded three or more goals during those games, so the main priority for this game against the Bruins must be decreasing the conceded goals to secure a victory that could allow them to tie the New Jersey Devils in the top spot of the Eastern Conference.

Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins have only lost one of their last five games; however, it’s worth noting that they have scored more than three goals in only two of them. Despite this, the Bruins have been increasing their dependence on David Pastrnak, as he has been the only player to surpass the 20-point mark this season, so they cannot be considered real contenders to battle for the Stanley Cup championship.
