At 7:07pm ET, my Metro Division Game Of The Year is on Carolina. When the Hurricanes faced the Capitals in November, they were -260 to -275 favorites. They won 4-2, outshooting the Capitals 45-21. In the previous meeting, which was back in last season in April, the Hurricane outshot the Capitals 45-16, also winning 4-2. They were -250 for that game. Tonight, because the game is in Washington, the Hurricanes are far more reasonably priced. The Capitals actually have a better road record though (they are 12-4 on the road and 9-6 at home) so the called home ice advantage isn't a factor for them. Carolina is the better team and is playing better hockey. The Hurricanes won their last 2 games by a score of 8-1. Struggling to score without Ovechkin, the Capitals lost their last 2 games by a score of 6-3. The last loss was against Chicago and Carolina is a much better team. Lay the fair price with the hotter, better team.
