Will you be betting on the Hurricanes? (AP Images)

With several of his teammates struggling to score in the postseason, Chad LaRose has picked up the slack, keeping his career-year numbers rolling right through these playoffs and helping the Carolina Hurricanes even the series with the Boston Bruins at one game apiece.

LaRose had career-highs of 19 goals and 31 points during the regular season, then kept it up in May with a team-best six assists in the playoffs.

On the team, only Eric Staal has more points this postseason than the eight recorded by LaRose, who has been shuttled through Carolina's line combinations.

Before Carolina's 3-0 Game 2 victory, Boston had won its first five playoff games by a combined score of 20-7, and didn't allow more than two goals in any playoff game.

They'll have to get back to what worked so well during Game 1, when they dominated play throughout and took advantage of several Carolina miscues in a 4-1 victory. Get all your NHL playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
