Outlook:
Carolina franchise is making the playoffs after long absence and it doesn't look good. The Hurricanes are the third seed by virtue of winning the weak Southeast Division. Boston struggled at times during the regular season, but Byron Dafoe in the net and very good penalty-killing will propel the Bruins to the second round.
