The Hurricanes are aiming to rebound after a 3-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on April 9. In that game, both Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis led the team with five shots on goal each.
The Capitals currently lead the Metropolitan Division and are looking to solidify their position as the playoffs approach. They have notable injuries, including forwards Nicklas Backstrom (hip) and T.J. Oshie (back), both out for the season.
This matchup is crucial for both teams as they prepare for the postseason, with the Hurricanes seeking to snap their recent skid and the Capitals aiming to maintain momentum.
Hurricanes vs. Capitals Betting Prediction
I’m taking Carolina on the moneyline at Bovada.lv. The Hurricanes have won seven out of their previous 10 meetings versus the Capitals. Their current three-game losing streak is concerning, but it’s not as if Washington is in perfect form entering tonight, either. The Capitals, in fact, have dropped five out of their last seven games overall.
