What – Game 19 (12-5-1)
When – 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 17
Where – TD Garden; Boston, MA
How to Watch – FanDuel Sports Network South, NESN, TVAS
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to even up their season series against the Boston Bruins tonight at TD Garden.
The Canes, who are 5-1-1 in their last seven outings, are coming off of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
The Hurricanes are getting contributions throughout their lineup, but key injuries are still leaving them a bit vulnerable.
Boston is 8-1-0 in their last nine games, most recently defeating the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 on Saturday.
Much like most teams in the league currently, the Bruins have also been hit hard by injuries, but they’re still finding ways to collect wins, so they won’t be an easy opponent.
