Result: Win
ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Carolina Hurricanes -135 over Boston Bruins, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - We had our eyes on this spot even before the Patrice Bergeron injury and the Brad Marchand suspension. Now factoring in that Boston will be without two of their top players for this one, we absolutely love this situation! The Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL this season and are off B2B losses. That is a play on situation in and of itself as Carolina has only had one 3-game losing streak this entire season. After a lackluster effort in their most recent game at Ottawa (was 2nd night of B2B and off heartbreaking loss at Toronto), the now-rested Canes will be ready to roll tonight. The Bruins are not only without their two best players, the Hurricanes could get a boost tonight with the return of Teuvo Teravainen as he has been close to returning from injury each of the last two contests and has been a game-time decision in each. Even if he does not play the Hurricanes hold the key personnel edges here with Bergeron and Marchand out for the Bruins. This Boston team has been scuffling for a while now with losses in 4 of their last 6 games. Keep in mind, the Hurricanes had won 16 of 20 games before the B2B losses they just had against the Maple Leafs and Senators. Carolina never should have lost the game at Toronto and then there was a bit of an emotional carry-over into Ottawa that led to them dropping B2B games. Now one of the best teams in the NHL takes advantage of a slumping - and short-handed - Bruins team here. Lay the money line price with the road fave here for a Top Game.
