Washington at Carolina

Washington suffered a letdown in Game 3 after winning the first two games of the series. Look for the Capitals to bounce back tonight especially with Carolina dealing with some key injuries. Rookie Andrei Svechnikov is out with a concussion along with winger Micheal Ferland (upper body). Washington had beaten the Hurricanes six times in a row prior to Monday and the Caps still have won six of their last seven conference quarterfinal games and 15 of their last 21 versus Eastern Conference teams overall. Also, the Capitals are 39-17 their last 56 games playing with two days rest and they have won five of the last six meetings at Carolina. Play the Capitals.
