to get back in the win column.The Washington Capitals return home to face off against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.return home after the winger broke Wayne Gretzky’s record on Long Island over the weekend. Ovechkin’s goal was the lone tally for the Capitals in a 4-1 loss, and they’ll be happy to be back at Capital One Arena, where they are 25-8-6 at home. The Capitals have been traveling a lot over the past few weeks with some stops at home sprinkled between road trips. They’ve now had three days off after Sunday’s loss and should be raring to go against their Metropolitan Division rivals.are firmly in the second spot in the division but they’ve been sliding as of late. They have yet to win a game on this road trip, getting outscored 13-4 in three games against non-playoff teams. The Hurricanes also have some pretty severe home-road splits. Carolina is 30-8-1 at home but just 16-19-3 on the road. The Canes have been even worse as road favorites at 13-20 this season while the Capitals are 7-4 as home underdogs. Carolina won this meeting last week at home, but Washington defended home ice with a 3-1 win back in December. The Hurricanes could very well win this game, but with no significant injury updates for either side, a +135 line for the Capitals at home is a bit disrespectful.Ovechkin has been on fire recently with six goals during this five-game goal streak, and has scored in eight of his last 11 games since March 15. Sure, he finally broke the record on Sunday, but there’s really no reason to think that he’ll slow down with the playoffs right around the corner. He scored in both games against the Hurricanes this season as well as the final two meetings last year.has been a one-man shooting gallery for the Hurricanes recently. He’s had at least four shots on goal in five straight games with a whopping 26 in that span. Taking him to get 4+ SOG instead of 3+ gets this same-game parlay up to +1118 if you want to sprinkle a bit on that.The Hurricanes have only hit the moneyline in 20 of their last 46 away games .
