Hurricanes Gameday Preview: Veterans Day Matchup Against the Capitals
The Carolina Hurricanes return home Tuesday night to face the Washington Capitals as they chase their fifth straight victory. The game, held on Veterans Day, follows a successful weekend when the Hurricanes defeated both the Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Carolina currently holds an 11-4-0 record for the season and has won five of its last six games. In their most recent outing, defenseman Charles Alexis Legault sustained a hand injury from a skate blade against Toronto, which may challenge the team’s defensive depth.
