Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
I’m on the Hurricanes in this one. I just think that Washington in their current form is a really hard team to back, and the Hurricanes are one of those teams that have a distinct edge on home ice as the Lenovo Center is one of the tougher road environments in the NHL. I think the Hurricanes get the job done in this one, so give me Carolina.
