After a six-game road trip to see the sights on the Pacific Coast of the United States, the Carolina Hurricanes return to PNC Arena where the Washington Capitals are coming to town. A quick one-off game before the team heads on the road again. We get a matinee to start for the Canes and Caps to renew their rivalries for the first time in the new COVID-19 affected world.
Carolina is coming into this game off the back of a big win over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center in Pennsylvania. Washington is coming into this game off of a big win at home over the Washington Capitals on Friday, as both teams bounced back from recent defeats at the hands of the Seattle Kraken.
