The Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes face off at PNC Arena in Raleigh for the second and final time this season tonight. The last time these two teams met was on March 3 in DC, when Vitek Vanecek shut out the Hurricanes in his first game back from injury. The Caps and Canes have a tendency to get chippy when they play each other and the Canes are looking to bounce back from two weeks ago, so tonight has a lot of potential to get feisty.
The Capitals announced just before warmups that TJ Oshie is listed as day-to-day with a lower body injury after last night’s game in Columbus.
