The Washington Capitals opened their 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 4-2 win over a pesky Carolina Hurricanes team. The Caps were able to get their man advantage unit on track and staved off a third period Canes rally to get the victory.
The Canes out-shot the Caps 29 to 18.
The Capitals are now 28-20 all-time in Game 1s, and 19-11 at home.
