The Capitals 14-game streak without a loss has left this team on cruise control, and that is when a good team becomes over-valued. They have been just 8-6 since, and for them that says cruise control because they are better than that. The Hurricanes has been a thorn for the Caps all season as Carolina has actually outscored them in the five games 18-17, coming away with two wins, and two OT losses in the five games. Carolina will use the confidence gained from beating the Caps in their last game, and they have also been the NHL's best as a home dog where they are 7-0 in their last seven. I'll go with Carolina in this one.
