The NHL Metropolitan Division will offer such an interesting game for next Friday night, as Washington Capitals will host a very tough game against Carolina Hurricanes at 06:00 pm CST. This game will definitely be a huge challenge for both teams, as they need to find more consistency during the midseason to convert into real contenders to battle for the championship by the end of the regular season.
On the one hand, Washington Capitals have fallen in a bad streak of 2 losses in a row that took them down from the top spot of the Eastern Conference, but keeping a good optimism of recovering it as they’ve 4 games less than New Jersey Devils. Also, the Capitals are currently remarked as the second-best offensive in the Conference with 118 scored goals, so they’re expected to recover their effectiveness in the short-term.
On the other hand, Carolina Hurricanes established dominance in their last 2 games, in which they also faced Metropolitan Division opponents like New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets. However, it’s worth noting that they haven’t been able to score more than 4 goals during their last 5 games, a streak that clearly demonstrates their big offensive inconsistency.
