The Carolina Hurricanes hope the friendly confines of PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C., for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals will reboot the storm surge and help get themselves back into the series against the Boston Bruins. Boston leads it 2-0, outscoring Carolina 11-4. The Bruins have been terrific at both five-on-five even strength and with the man-advantage, converting four power-play goals in seven attempts. Carolina is one for seven on its power play.
It is not all doom and gloom for the Hurricanes, who can take comfort in knowing they have played their best on home ice in the playoffs, entering Tuesday with a 5-0 home mark.
The Plays: Carolina to win Game 3 (-115), and to score the first goal (-125). The return to home ice should provide a massively needed energy and adrenaline boost for the Canes. Plus, home teams have scored the first goal in the opening home game of a series 21 times out of 26 (81 percent) in these playoffs.
