In their last three games, the Hurricanes have accumulated a total of 13 points from goals alone. Their shooting percentage has been notably high, with 19 percent against the Capitals and 12 percent against the Islanders indicating a team that's finding the back of the net efficiently. Moreover, they've managed to maintain a strong defensive front; goaltending has been solid with save percentages consistently at or near 100 percent across these games.


Faceoffs have been an area for potential improvement as their win percentage hovered around mid-forties in two out of three past games. However, they've shown resilience in even-strength situations and capitalized on powerplay opportunities when presented.

The Bruins will be entering PNC Arena aware of these statistics and looking to counteract Carolina's strengths. For fans watching this matchup, it will be interesting to see how well the Hurricanes can continue their scoring trend while also tightening up any loose ends during faceoffs.


The upcoming game is scheduled for April 4th at PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ via internet streaming or tune into NESN or BSSO on TV for broadcast coverage starting at 7:00 PM ET.
