Carolina is again 1.5 goal favorites in this series with the total locked in at 5.5. Both teams are under .500 over/under this season, but games at the Lenovo Center have averaged 6.2 goals this season. All three games in this series have hit the under.

Washington is 22-13-3 as underdogs this season. Carolina is 50-27-6 as favorites.

I found the best moneyline value bet on Carolina is -235 at FanDuel. Smart bettors will find the Washington moneyline at +200 at BetMGM.

Capitals vs Hurricanes Prediction

I’m predicting another big win for the Hurricanes and for them to cover the puck line of 1.5. Washington’s offense has been frustrated all series. Carolina has outshot the Capitals in all three games, including a 28-21 advantage in Game 3.

The Canes just don’t lose at home. Carolina was 31-9-1 in Raleigh, tied for the most home wins in the NHL in the regular season (Kings). They’re 4-0 in the playoffs at home. Washington hasn’t won in Carolina since December of 2023.

The Hurricanes have also done an incredible job on Capitals Hall of Famer Alexander Ovechkin. He’s been held without a point in this series. It’s only the second time all season Ovechkin has gone three games without a mark next to his name on the scoresheet.

Offensively, Carolina has gotten seven goals this series from seven different players. Jack Roslovic, who was benched in the Hurricanes first-round series against the Devils, had a goal and an assist in the Game 3 blowout.

The Hurricanes have won their last 17 home games against Metropolitan Division foes. The home team has covered the puck line in the last nine games between the Capitals and Canes and I’m picking that trend to continue.

Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen has played better as the series has gone on. He’s only allowed three goals this series (one Washington goal was an empty netter). With his shutout on Saturday, Andersen became the 10th goalie in NHL history to have playoff shutouts with three different teams.

Washington goalie Logan Thompson has not been the Caps problem this series – another reason to like the under, but the Caps haven’t been able to capitalize (ahem) on the offensive opportunities they have. Meanwhile, Carolina keeps coming. Washington had 27 blocked shots in Game 3, which is commendable, and way more than Carolina’s 13, but that’s indicative of Carolina’s ability to control the puck this series. It’s hard to score without the puck. Carolina will keep rolling.
