Washington is without defenseman John Carlson and center Jay Beagle for this one, and the status of Nicklas Backstrom is unknown. So it's asking a lot of them to win on the road here. Carolina's defense has found momentum as the Hurricanes have allowed more than two goals just once in the last six games. Over that span, they are allowing just 1.7 goals per game! Take the home team playing great defense here. Play Carolina.
