The Capitals of Washington and the Hurricanes of Caroline divided the first two games at Capital Onena. Now the series turns to Lenovo Center where the Hurricanes are a difficult team to play.
Carolina did not lose a single home game (3-0) in the first round against the Devils of New Jersey. They also did not lose a against capital in the 2019 eliminatory series of the two teams (3-0). The last time the caps beat the Hurricanes on the road was December 17, 2023 in a 2-1 victory.
Charlie Lindgren will return to his backup role because the caps will go with the same programming everywhere else. The canes return Roslovic and Kotkaniemi in their lines, but that’s it.
Puck Drop for match 3 is at 6:00 p.m. on TNT. Let’s go!
