The Bruins offense has been particularly slow, as they've scored just nine goals in five games. Brad Marchand leads the team with just two goals.
The Canes have gotten off to a rough start defensively, allowing 3.6 goals per game. Both Brian Boucher and Cam Ward each of goals against average's of more than 3.25.
