NHL - Preview

The Washington Capitals are preparing for a crucial playoff game against the Carolina Hurricanes at Lenovo Center in Raleigh. The Caps have shown a mixed bag of performances recently, with their last few games highlighting both strengths and areas needing improvement. In their recent matchups, the Capitals have demonstrated offensive prowess, particularly in even-strength situations where they managed to score five goals against the Montreal Canadiens. However, their powerplay efficiency has been inconsistent, as seen in their previous game against the Hurricanes where they failed to capitalize on powerplay opportunities.
