Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 5/12/25, 3:13 PM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

The first game in the NHL series for next Monday corresponds to the clash between Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals, teams from the Metropolitan Division which are expecting to deliver a very attractive fourth game of their series. In this matter, it totally makes sense to have Carolina Hurricanes as the big favorites to win after getting a very solid victory during the third game of the series (4-0).

In this regard, it’s more than necessary to note that Carolina Hurricanes were able to show an offensive performance very related to the one shown during the first game of the series, in which they also summed up an important victory. With this in mind, the Hurricanes must be able to put Washington on a very complicated scenario, as winning this game would put them just one game away from the Eastern Conference final.

On Washington Capitals’ side, this team hasn’t been able to score more than three goals in the current series, a very concerning fact when taking into consideration that this will be the fourth game of the series. In addition, it must be noted that Ovechkin has been the only player to shoot more than four times on target in one game, so an increase in their offensive effectiveness is expected for the next games to remain alive in the competition.
