Top Cappers News


The Carolina Hurricanes enter Game 2 holding a 1-0 series lead after dominating most of the action in the opener on Tuesday. Despite their strong performance, they remain on the road, where they’ve faced significant challenges throughout the regular season. Carolina's struggles away from home are well-documented, which could open the door for a stronger showing from the Washington Capitals, who were an impressive 26-9-6 on their own ice during the regular season.

Washington's offense sputtered in Game 1, but expect a much sharper effort in front of their home crowd. The Capitals have been solid defensively, allowing two goals or fewer in six of their last eight contests, thanks largely to the exceptional play of Logan Thompson, one of the league's top goaltenders this season.

While Carolina controlled much of the first matchup, Washington's resilience at home should not be underestimated. With the crowd behind them and adjustments made offensively, the Capitals are primed for a bounce-back performance. Look for Washington to respond with a strong effort and secure a critical win to even the series. Take Washington ML
