For the third time in four postseasons, the Hurricanes and Bruins meet in the playoffs. Show
In the past, it has gone the Bruins' way. Boston swept Carolina in the 2019 Eastern Conference finals and then won in five games in the first round in 2020. But this season, it's the Hurricanes who are the favorites. Carolina ended the season as the NHL's best defensive team, with Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta teaming up for the William M. Jennings Trophy for the goalie tandem with the lowest goals-against average. Between those two in the pipes and the stellar play of the blue line, the Hurricanes are a tough team to crack. However, Boston comes in as one of the hottest teams. Since New Year's Day, the Bruins are 37-16-3, with only the Avalanche and Panthers earning more points in that span. The core in Boston isn't getting any younger, and with Patrice Bergeron's contract up at the end of the season, this might be the final run for the Bruins in this window. Carolina is looking to continue its success against Boston after sweeping the season series 3-0-0 and outscoring the boys from Beantown 16-1 in the process. But history is on the Bruins' side, and the club is looking to pull off the first-round upset. The Hurricanes have to go into Game 1 without Andersen in net as he recovers from a lower-body injury. Raanta gets the call tonight against Linus Ullmark.

First, it was best of seven. Then, it was best of three. Now, it is best of one. The first-round series between the Hurricanes and Bruins comes down to Game 7 on Saturday. Boston forced the winner-take-all matchup with a 5-2 win in Game 6 on Thursday. The home team has won every game in the series thus far, which is good news for Carolina as Game 7 will be at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. The Hurricanes jumped out to a 2-0 series lead before the Bruins won Games 3 and 4 to tie the series. Carolina earned a win in Game 5 before the Boston win in Game 6. Carolina has been relying on backup goaltender Antti Raanta in the first round. Starter Frederik Andersen remains sidelined with a lower-body injury. Raanta, as well as Pyotr Kochetkov, have been solid in his place. The Bruins were without Hampus Lindholm for Games 3, 4 and 5, but the blue-liner who was acquired at the deadline made his return in Game 6. The winner of the series will take on the Panthers or the Capitals in the second round.
