Happy Monday, everyone. After playing just twice on Mondays in the first three months of the season, the Caps play for the third consecutive Monday, as they host the Hurricanes. Carolina has an even 5-5-0 record in their last 10 games and currently sits in sixth in the Metro division.
John Carlson will be out again tonight and he will likely be held out through the All-Star break.
CSN has your puck drop at 7 pm.
