The regular season has come to an end, and it’s official: the Capitals will begin their quest for back-to-back Cups with a first-round matchup against their longtime Southeast and Metropolitan rivals, the Carolina Hurricanes.

Here’s the full schedule:
Round 1 vs. CAR
| 1 | Thursday | April 11 | 7:30 p.m. | Capital One Arena |
| 2 | Saturday | April 13 | 3:00 p. |
