This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Washington Capitals.

These teams last met on December 14th and it was the Hurricanes who came out on top 6-5 in a shootout. We're expecting a much more decisive victory today for the defending champs though. The Hurricanes beat the Bruins 5-3 at home on Sunday, but they've still won just three times in their last ten games. The Canes power play is 0-14 over the last four games and the offense is ranked 28th by allowing 2.54 GPG. The Capitals are back in first place in the Metropolitan and the offense ranks third by averaging 3.6 GPG. Note that Washington is 11-2 in its last 13 vs. a win, while Carolina is interestingly 1-5 in its last six vs. the Metropolitan. Play on the CAPITALS.
