The third game in the NHL playoffs’ series between Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals will take place next Saturday, and even though Carolina is considered as the big favorite team to win according to the bookmakers’ odds, the reality is that their offensive line hasn’t been able to be as productive as expected during the first two games of the series.
With that in mind, it cannot be considered as a big surprise that Carolina Hurricanes couldn’t increase their advantage to two games after their most recent 3-1 loss to Washington Capitals. In referred game, the Hurricanes didn’t put any pressure on during the first and second periods, and Shayne Gostisbehere was only able to importantly appear during the third period with 5 shots on goal.
Meanwhile, Washington Capitals have also kept an offensive line with an important lack of consistency, as Alexander Ovechkin and Tom Wilson were two of the most relevant players in the second game of the series, as they shot 3 and 2 times on goal, respectively. Despite that, Ovechkin couldn’t score any goals, so he must try his best to carry on appearing in such important games for the Capitals.

Our Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
To conclude, this game is expected to be a new opportunity for Washington Capitals to take advantage of the terrible offensive performance that Carolina Hurricanes showed during the first two games of the series. With that in mind, Alex Ovechkin is expected to finally be able to score the first goal of this series, so the pick for Carolina Hurricanes – Washington Capitals is: Goals In First Ten - Under 0.5!
