Top Cappers News


The Washington Capitals head into this matchup looking to even up the series at two games apiece, but they face a daunting task against a Carolina squad that boasted an impressive 31-9-1 record at home during the regular season. In Game 3, the Capitals showed flashes of solid play, particularly during the first 30 minutes, but they failed to convert on their scoring opportunities.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have been locking things down defensively throughout the series, with Frederik Andersen standing tall between the pipes. His performances have been nothing short of spectacular, frustrating Washington's offense at every turn. However, the Capitals have had some strong goaltending of their own, with Logan Thompson delivering solid outings and keeping them in contention.

I anticipate another tight, low-scoring contest, given how both defenses have been performing. Despite Carolina's dominance at home, I'm leaning towards Washington with the attractive plus-money value. With Thompson in goal, the Capitals have a legitimate shot to steal this game and level the series. Expect a gritty battle, but the underdog value on Washington is worth the gamble.
