Coming into this game they are struggling a little bit more though and have lost three of the last four games. The one win during that stretch came against the Blue Jackets in overtime.
For the Capitals when they have success it’s because of the offense. They are currently averaging 3.5 goals per game.
Over the last five games it’s been the defense that has been issue giving up 3.80 goals per game. They are facing an offense that is hot so it’s going to be important the defense is good. If the defense struggles in this game the Capitals could have an issue coming away with a win.
Carolina Hurricanes
On the other side of this matchup is the Carolina Hurricanes who are going to be a porblem come playoff time in the Eastern Conference.
Coming into this game they have won their last two games with one of those games coming against the Capitals. In that game they put up six goals and that offensive output is going to be important in this game.
On the season the Hurricanes offense has been really good averaging 3.4 goals per game while the defense has been giving up 2.80.
At times over the last five gams the defense has struggled giving up 4.40 goals per game. Even in that game against the Capitals, the defense struggled but the offense did enough
