The Carolina Hurricanes travel to Washington to take on the Capitals on Monday. This is the fourth and last time these teams face off this season, the Capitals have won all of the last 3 games.
CAROLINA HURRICANES
The Canes have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are 19-13 on the road with a 43-15-7 record overall ranking 1st in the Metropolitan division. The Hurricanes are 11-7-1 in division games. Carolina is 13th in the Eastern Conference with 33.9 shots per game and is averaging 3.3 goals.
Sebastian Aho leads the Hurricanes with 28 goals and has 64 points. Teuvo Teravainen has five assists over the last 10 games for Carolina.
In their last 10 games the Canes are 5-5, averaging 2.8 goals, 4.8 assists, 3.6 penalties and 9.4 penalty minutes while giving up 1.9 goals per game with a .929 save percentage.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
The Capitals have won 3 of their last 5 games and are 16-18 at home with a 37-20-10 record overall ranking 4th in the Metropolitan division. The Capitals are 14-5-1 against the rest of their division. Washington ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference with 31.3 shots per game and is averaging 3.3 goals.

In their last 10 games the Capitals are 7-3, averaging 3.6 goals, 5.3 assists, 3.8 penalties and 7.9 penalty minutes while giving up 3.2 goals per game with an .898 save percentage.
BETTING TRENDS
Carolina are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games.
Carolina are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against Washington.
Washington are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games.
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Washington's last 11 games.
Prediction
The Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL but they've struggled lately and have been dominated by the Capitals this season. Washington have won 7 of their last 10 games but they haven't been profitable at home. The Caps have scored an average of 3.6 gpg in their last 10 games but they're facing the #2 defense in the league so I expect this game to go under the total.
PICK: Under 6 (-115)
