The Advantage Of Home Ice

At this point in the series, home ice has been the deciding factor for each game played. The first two games were blowout wins at home for the Hurricanes.

With a 2-0 lead, it appeared as if the Canes had things under control until they traveled to Boston and the Bruins dominated the next two.

When it comes to home games across the 2022 regular season, Carolina has the slight edge.
