Home has been a very friendly place for the Washington Capitals this season. Overall, the Caps are 21-5-1 at Verizon Center. Currently, they are riding a nine-game home winning streak, having last lost in DC on December 29.
Washington will have a good chance at stretching the streak to 10 straight at home when the Carolina Hurricanes come to Verizon Center Tuesday night.
The Caps and Canes have met a total of three times this season, with Washington coming out victorious in two. The last meeting was a 6-1 win by the Caps at Verizon Center on January 23.
