ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The Bruins and Hurricanes entered the finale of their regular-season matchup with each team winning away from home. Carolina defeated Boston, 3-2, at TD Garden on Jan. 24 before the Bruins bested the Hurricanes, 4-1, on April 4 at PNC Arena.

The Hurricanes came into the game with the league’s No. 1 penalty kill, at 86.2%. Carolina proved why they are so hard to score on while on the penalty kill when Boston had three opportunities in the game.

On the first power play, the Bruins registered just one shot on goal, and on the second opportunity, Boston not only failed to get a shot on Pyotr Kochetov, but Carolina scored a short-handed goal.

STARS OF THE GAME
— Andrei Svechnikov became the first NHL player to record three “Michigan” goals in the league. The Carolina forward recorded two in the 2019-20 season before scoring his third to open the scoring in the second period. He added an assist on Teuvo Teravainen’s goal for a multi-point night.

— Charlie McAvoy scored the Bruins’ lone goal in the loss.

— Kochetov stopped 22 Bruins shots for Carolina in the win.

WAGER WATCH
FanDuel Sportsbook set the odds at +750 that McAvoy would score a goal in the contest. The Bruins defenseman cleared those odds with his 12th tally of the season. A $100 wager on McAvoy would have netted a $850 total payout.
