Bruins seek more success at home vs. Hurricanes

Jan 10, 2009 - 11:41 AM Carolina (21-16-5) at Boston (30-7-4), 1:00 p.m. EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- Coming off a much-needed victory, the Boston Bruins are primed to continue their winning ways at the TD Banknorth Garden.

The Bruins seek their 16th win in their last 18 home games when they host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

After the Bruins extended their home run to 14 games with a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on January 1, they fell in consecutive contests to the Buffalo Sabres and Minnesota Wild.

However, they regained their momentum with a 6-4 win over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday and improved to 15-3-1 in Boston.

Boston has enjoyed success in both matchups against the Hurricanes, posting a 4-2 win on December 20 at home, and notching another victory by the same score a week later in Raleigh, North Carolina.

All-Star netminder Tim Thomas has won five of his last six at home and has a 1.92 goals-against average in consecutive victories over Carolina.

The Hurricanes are coming off a 4-2 setback against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. With that loss, their season-high, four-game winning streak was halted.

Carolina is 9-7-4 on the road and will play six of its next seven games away from home.
