The Hurricanes and Capitals square off tonight from the Capitol One Center in Washington D.C. Each team puts an early undefeated record on the line to open an anticipated NHL season.
Tonight’s meeting continues the chippiness between Carolina and Washington following their dramatic seven game 2018 playoff set. Carolina eked that dogfight to claim their spot in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
Though, the Hurricanes were swept by Boston on the precipice of NHL’s highest stage, this year’s Carolina offering is hyped for good reason.
Likewise, Washington enters 2019 with repeat postseason aspirations -and an eye tonight toward revenge after last spring’s playoff loss.

The hits will be a bit crisper Saturday evening from the Nation’s Capital as big-time hockey gets underway.
Carolina Hurricanes
To cap Thursday’s inaugural 19-20’ Canes win, Petr Mrazek made 33 stops, none bigger than in sudden death, where Dougie Hamilton shined while snuffing the Canadiens’ designs. Erik Haula, Martin Necas and Lucas Wallmark each added one regulation goal during the Hurricanes victory march.
Gaining a rest day ahead of this evening’s tilt, expect the best possible version of Carolina vs. home-standing Washington.
Winless last regular season vs. the Capitals (0-3-1), Carolina found an unexpected extra gear to brush past their charge in what became a defining 2018-19’ postseason matchup.

Washington Capitals
Hockey fans can only hope for repeat intensity tonight when veteran, undefeated Washington takes center ice. And following one-point wins over St. Louis and the Islanders, Washington appears primed for another scrap.
Jakub Vrana and Alex Ovechkin each ripped scoring strikes Wednesday as the Caps downed current NHL champion St. Louis 3-2. That win is doubly impressive considering it occurred on the Blues’ rink following a pointed ring ceremony.
Washington took a night off to bask in their success before outlasting NYI 2-1 Friday. Vrana continued his hot start by joining T.J. Oshie in the scoring column to highlight another determined road win.
Expect an infused Capital One Arena as the Washington Capitals entertain their raucous local supporters.

Free Carolina Hurricanes vs. Washington Capitals NHL Prediction:
Washington’s chippy defense, timely scoring and strong net presence has given the Caps reason for belief tonight. Although, Carolina is waiting on edge to steal the palpable energy from Capitals fans while adding another marquee victory over their newest rival.
However, the veteran Caps won’t be too effected on the tail-end of a back-to-back tonight considering the buildup.
