Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction & Betting Tips - NHL

Prediction published on 04/01/2024, 15:14 by Matthew Newman | Modified on 04/01/2024 at 15:17 in NHL Predictions

The 18-12-6 Washington Capitals will welcome the 21-13-4 Carolina Hurricanes in the early hours of Saturday morning. They managed to up their game to beat the Penguins early in the week but did their best to throw away a 4-0 lead that day, winning 4-3 in the end. They went home the next night and were competitive for two periods against the New Jersey Devils before the back-to-back situation hit their legs and they ended up on the wrong side of a 6-3 final score. The Capitals have found winning at home hard in recent times, losing five of their last seven at Capital One Arena. There are still only two teams in the league who have found the net on fewer occasions than the Capitals, that lack of goalscoring holding them back this season. They need to find a way to get the job done on home ice or they will find themselves slipping back out of the playoff spots.

Things have been going well in Carolina of late. They were slow to get their season going, not helped by frailties at the back, but they are playing some exceptional hockey at present. Their most recent game saw them win in New York, knocking off the Rangers 6-1. That was by far and away their top performance of the season so far and was a fourth straight win for the team. They lost in a shootout the last time that they played the Capitals, on home ice in the middle of December. They were unfortunate that day to run into the Capitals netminder Darcy Kuemper having his best game of the season so far. Kuemper has shipped 13 in his most recent three starts to put that into perspective. The Canes had lost five of seven going into that matchup but arrive in the capital in far better heart and a repeat of their performance earlier in the week in New York would make them hard for any team in the NHL to stop.

Our Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

There was little between the sides when they met a few weeks ago but that was more down to an inspired effort from Darcy Kuemper between the pipes for the Caps than anything else. The Hurricanes win over the Rangers earlier this week was one of the most complete performances that they have put together all season. Our Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes prediction is a Canes win to gain revenge for that defeat in December and pile on the woes on home ice for the Caps.
