There’s a solid Eastern Conference matchup set to go down Tuesday from Washington as the Capitals host the Hurricanes. The squads have combined to go 12-6-3 over their last 20 and both team s look at this matchup as a nice playoff-like battle.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes have a stronghold on a postseason berth, sitting comfortably in the top wild card spot. Their 91 points are 3 up on Montreal and have a nice 5 point buffer over Columbus, the 9 seed.
Carolina has won 4 of their last 5 to climb into this position. They’ve been favored in each of those contests and all the past 5 games have been on the Hurricanes home ice. On Tuesday the ‘Canes hit the road for the first time in 11 days.

Carolina has gone a solid 20-14-3 on the road this season. They turn to Curtis McElhinney in net to try to improve on those numbers. McElhinney has won 2 of his last 3 starts but in games the Hurricanes were heavily favored. He’s also surrendered 5 goals to Tampa Bay two games ago so the performance has been shaky at times.
Washington Capitals
The Caps sit in first place in the Metropolitan, but the division race is looking like a dog fight right until the end. Both the Islanders and the Penguins are just a point back which means Washington is in a must-win situation on Tuesday night.

The Capitals come in losers of 2 of their last 3 with all games being at home. They did turn things around with a 3-1 win over the Flyers last time out however.
It will be Braden Holtby getting the starting nod in goal trying to hold on to the division lead. He’s done a great job of that lately, allowing only 3 total goals his last two starts.

Free Carolina Hurricanes vs. Washington Capitals NHL Prediction:
Both teams have been playing well and Carolina is a very solid road team to boot. That being said, Washington looked like very complete team in Sunday’s win over Philadelphia. The Hurricanes have also traditionally struggled at the Capital One Arena, losing 7 of the last 9 in DC.
