The Boston Bruins have alternated the hot hand behind the net with Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask both streaky netminders. Right now Thomas has recorded two shutouts in his last four behind the net, and Rask has allowed just 9 in his last four starts. Both are playing at a high level right now. Carolina has been 7-7 over their last 14 games and kind of running in place, unable to get any continuity. They are in a predictably bad spot here for them as they are a pathetic 11-27 after allowing 5 goals or more in their last game, as well as being just 3-10 playing their third game in four nights. The Bruins are a solid 6-1 in their last seven vs. the Southeast. I'll ride with Boston in this one.
