Carolina at Washington

The home team has won every game of the series and that trend will continue tonight as Washington looks to bounce back from the Game 6 loss at Carolina. The Capitals scored three goals in the three games at Carolina compared to 14 goals in their three games at home. The Hurricanes have lost six of their last eight road games going back to the regular season and their last six as road underdogs. Meanwhile, Washington is 8-2 its last 10 games after giving up at least five goals its previous game and the Capitals still have won 17 of their last 25 overall. Throw in their obvious experience advantage after winning the Stanley Cup in 2018 and the fact they are 151-73 their last 224 games with one day of rest, the Capitals get the call tonight.
