Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

We open up NHL predictions with our featured game between the Boston Bruins<\/a> and the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/a> Boston is expected to give Jeremy Swayman<\/a> the start in this game but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Bruins are 6-3-1 in their previous 10 games but have dropped their last three games in a row. The Bruins currently hold the first wild card spot,<\/a> and a win would give the Bruins a leg up in clinching a playoff spot. David Pastrnak<\/a> leads the team in points with 97 so far this campaign.<\/p>\n

Carolina is likely to give Brandon Bussi<\/a> the start in this game. The Hurricanes are 7-3 in their previous 10 games but did lose to the Ottawa Senators<\/a> last time out. The Hurricanes are on the edge of locking down the Metropolitan Division title with a victory. Sebastian Aho<\/a> leads the club in assists (52) and points (78).<\/p>\n

This is an important game for both teams. However, the Hurricanes get the victory in this one.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Hurricanes win 5-3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome back to NHL Predictions.
