Washington at Carolina

The Capitals are setting up as the team to beat as we wind up the NHL season. They have sandwiched eight straight road wins around a three-game road losing streak, and have run the road win streak to three where they have doubled-up opponents on the scoreboard 14-7. The Hurricanes have been an up and down team this season, and they are down now after going through an 11-2 stretch, they have since been 2-4. They have allowed an average of 4 goals per game in their last four, and that is no way to beat a Caps team that is scoring almost 5 per game over their last three. Washington comes in here with a stellar 40-11 mark in their last 51 vs. the Southeast, so I'll go with the Caps here.
