The Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL and they are playing like it. In far better form than Washington, Carolina has won 4 straight games and has at least 1 point in 10 of its last 11 games. The Capitals have lost five of their past six games. They are also just 43-61 their last 104 against winning teams.

With the Capitals having won at Raleigh less than a month ago, Carolina will not ease up in this game. The Hurricanes are 25-12 (+6.8u) their last 38 tries when playing with 2 day's rest in between games. They are firing on all cylinders, offensively and defensively and they will get it done once again. **RED LIGHT**
