Bruins vs Hurricanes Prediction and Odds for Game 7 (Final Game is a True Coin Flip)
The Boston Bruin and Carolina Hurricanes will face-off in one of three Game 7s in the NHL on Saturday night.
The home team has won every game this series, so if that trend continues, Carolina will be in a good spot to snag the victory.
Not only has the home team won every game, but not a single game has been close. Five of the six games have been decided by three goals, and the sixth was decided by two goals.

Bruins vs. Hurricanes Prediction and Pick
Despite the games being blowouts, this series has been unbelievably close. They're 7th and 10th in 5-on-5 CORSI%, and the Bruins have a slight advantage in expected goals at 2.51 compared to the Hurricanes at 2.22.
At this point, with it all coming down to Game 7, I think the smart thing to do might be to just take the underdog, especially considering that most analytics slightly favor the Bruins.
No matter what team's odds were set at plus-money, that would be the team that you should be on with the game being seemingly a coin flip, in my opinion. Since it's the Bruins, I'll be betting on them for the first time this series.
Pick: Bruins ML +115
