Washington has almost caught up with Philadelphia in the Capital Division, the Capital club is only 3 points behind the playoff zone with 1 less game played.
Carolina is also in the Capital Division, but a trip to the Stanley Cup is almost in the bag, Carolina is even fighting for 1st place in the Eastern Conference.
Washington has to take a lot of risks today, as the regular season ends in a month, the team needs to catch up with Philadelphia, but Carolina is a pretty serious opponent. So expect a lot of pucks today, Washington scores quite a lot on home ice, but the team is also prone to defensive failures and defeats.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 6" bet, odds 1.95
