After a couple of weird afternoon games, the Washington Capitals will get back to their normal routine, hosting the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at 7pm. The Canes will be trying to extend their three-game winning streak with the NHL’s first star of the week, rookie forward Sebastian Aho. That might be a tad difficult since the Capitals seem to be unstoppable – even more so when they’re playing at the phone booth. They have won nine-straight games at home and currently have a 21-5-1 record at the Verizon Center.
Team | Record | SA% | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Washington Capitals | 36-11-6 | 52.5% | 103.8 | 20.6% | 84.5% |
Carolina Hurricanes | 24-20-7 | 51.8% | 98.8 | 17.1% | 87.7% |
Thanks to Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post, the lines this morning looked exactly like you might have anticipated:
Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
Johansson – Kuznetsov – Williams
Connolly – Eller – Burakovsky
Winnik – Beagle – Wilson
Alzner – Carlson
Orlov – Niskanen
Orpik – Schmidt
Holtby
Gold.

I personally believe that super bowl commercials have been declining in quality the past few years, but I still watch them and want to know what everyone’s favorite is. This was mine of course:
