The red hot Washington Capitals travel south tonight to take on the Carolina Hurricanes. Washington has won 5 straight and that streak should continue tonight. Caps are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in Carolina. They are 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win and 6-0 in their last 6 Monday games. Holtby is out but a competent backup, Philipp Grubauer, is expected between the pipes for the Caps. He has a GAA of 2.53 and a SV% of .901. I’m riding the Caps until they lose.

Friday NHL Pick

The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Washington Capitals clash tonight at Verizon Center in Washington.

The Capitals have owned the Lightning, posting a record of 10-1-1 over their last 12 contests. Siding with Ovechkin and company in this one.

Kari Lehtonen is expected between the pipes for the Stars. He’s 11-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .916 SV%. The Flames should have Karri Ramo in the net tonight, with a 10-8-1 record, a 2.89 GAA and .903 SV%. Dallas has the edge in offense, defense, power plays, face offs and goaltending. The Flames streak should end tonight.
