The first clash of the 2025-26 season between the Caps and ‘Canes comes at a time where the two squads are going in somewhat different directions. Despite suffering some big injuries to their lineup, the Hurricanes sit right behind the Devils atop the Metro Division and are riding a four-game winning streak…while the Caps are fighting for a Wild Card spot and have lost six of their last seven.
Not ideal, but as we know, these two teams will always bring their A game when they face off – so hopefully we’re in store for a good one (and even more hope that there are two points in it for the Caps by the final horn).
