The top two seeds in the Metropolitan Division will square off tonight when the Washington Capitals host the Carolina Hurricanes. The Caps have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 8, and are 4-0 in their last 4 at Capital One Arena. These two teams match up well but Washington has a slight edge in goals scored and goals allowed. The Caps are also expected to have Logan Thompson between the pipes and he has been outstanding. Thompson is 13-6-2 with a GAA of only 1.96. The Caps beat the Canes in Carolina 4-1 back on November 11th so why not again tonight on their home turf?
