The Carolina Hurricanes enter tonight’s matchup against the Washington Capitals looking to snap a three-game losing skid and get back on track before the postseason. Despite their recent struggles, this is a favorable bounce-back spot for Carolina, who remains one of the most well-rounded teams in the league when playing to their potential. The Hurricanes have been held to just four total goals during their losing streak, but their offensive depth and ability to control possession should give them a clear edge over a Washington team that has been inconsistent and vulnerable defensively down the stretch. The Capitals have lost four of their last six games and continue to struggle against teams with speed and structure like Carolina. With the Hurricanes desperate to halt their slide and re-establish momentum, expect a focused effort from Rod Brind’Amour’s group. Look for Carolina’s forecheck and special teams to be the difference in a much-needed win over the Capitals tonight.
