Not only are the Bruins 0-5 vs. the Hurricanes this season, Boston hasn't even led. So what am I doing here? I am backing the much more experienced rookie goaltender in the Bruins' Jeremy Swayman (played 41 games this season and a handful in 2020-21) over the Canes' Pyotr Kochetkov, who will start with both Frederik Andersen and now Antti Raanta injured. The Russian did look good in relief of Raanta in Game 2, but making your first-ever playoff start (and only fifth NHL appearance) on the road is a different matter entirely. Carolina is 2-5 in its past seven as a road dog. It's desperation time for Boston, which steals this one and perhaps this one only.
