Hurricanes vs Capitals Predictions and Picks
The Hurricanes face off against the Capitals in this Metropolitan Division showdown. Carolina is 5-5 in its last ten games and ranks third in the conference in goal differential with a +37. All three of their recent losses have come against teams near the bottom of the Atlantic Division. The Canes boast the best penalty kill in the league and rank eighth in goals against.
In their last game, Carolina was shut out by the Buffalo Sabres, 3-0, on the road. After a scoreless first period, the Sabres scored twice in the second and added one more in the third. The Canes outshot Buffalo 33-18 but went 0-for-3 on the power play. Despite plenty of good looks and man-advantage opportunities, Carolina couldn't execute.
The Capitals are 5-4-1 in their last ten games and have the second-best goal differential in the conference at +66. Washington is 4-1 in its last five home games, and the scoring has been trending upward. Their special teams rank around the top ten, and they lead the league in goals scored.
In their last game, Washington lost to the New York Islanders, 4-1, on the road. The Capitals gave up goals in every period, and their lone score came from Alexander Ovechkin's historic 895th goal, making him the all-time leader in goals. Washington outshot New York 29-22 and will look to get off to a stronger start in this one.
Best Bet: Washington Moneyline
Neither of these teams is moving up in the playoff standings. This is essentially a final bragging rights game before the postseason begins and a potential Round Two preview. The Hurricanes' scoring has been trending down, while their defense has been steady. The Capitals have played well at home and will look to reignite their offense. Setting the tone early will be key to victory.
