Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Boston at Carolina (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Carolina +1.5 goals -260 (puckline) (risk 4 to win 1.5)

The Carolina Hurricanes have won two straight after suffering a loss in the opener to the Bruins. They have out-scored the Bruins in the series through three games. This team is on fire when playing on home ice where they have gone 15-2 over their last 17 home games. They have not only won, but they have won big. The Hurricanes are out-scoring their opponents 65-30 during this 17-game home streak or by over two goals a game. The Bruins coasted through the Canadiens in a four-game sweep to get here, but are finding a lot more resistance from Carolina, as they are down 2-1 in the series. The Bruins have not been killing teams on the road by any stretch, as they would be 5-12 in their last 17 if facing a -1.5 puckline on the road. The Hurricanes are hot, and in what should be a tightly checked defensive battle in game four, I will take Carolina on the puckline at home.
