Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Live Update
Tonight’s game is a crucial test for the Washington Capitals, who have lost six of their last seven matchups. Facing the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, this game could shape the Capitals' season moving forward.
The Hurricanes, one of the league’s top teams and the Capitals’ second biggest rival, come into this matchup on a four-game winning streak. Carolina boasts a strong 5-1-0 record at home this season.
"The last time the Capitals saw the Hurricanes, the Canes had mollywhopped them in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Then, Eric Tulsky added insult to injury by stealing their mans during free agency."
The Capitals will rely heavily on early-season Vezina Trophy candidate Logan Thompson for another impressive performance. Their middle six forwards, which have underperformed throughout the season, must contribute more tonight. Declan Chisholm is set to replace Trevor van Riemsdyk in the lineup.
