Hurricanes at Capitals odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Capitals 3, Hurricanes 2

Money line

The CAPITALS (+110) are an outstanding value as home underdogs against a Hurricanes team they have beaten all three times they've met this season.

Washington has also won nine of its last 12 games at home while going 4-1 in its last five as an underdog.

Against the spread

Capitals +1.5 (-240) will cost you nearly two and half times your potential return if you'd like a little insurance. It's not necessary, and you should PASS on the puck line and just play the Caps straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-130) is the play here.

The Under is 8-3-1 in the past 12 games overall for the Hurricanes while going 7-3-1 in the past 11 against teams with a winning overall record.

The Over has been the norm for the Capitals lately, hitting in 10 of the previous 11 games overall, but the Over-Under is 1-1-1 in three meetings with the Canes this season. Look for a tight, lower-scoring game between these rivals.
