Clay Stevenson will get the start and oppose Frederik Andersen in net. Coming into the game, the Capitals are six points out of third place in the Metropolitan Division and eight points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference."

Hurricanes with a 4-on-2 break but Clay Stevenson makes a sturdy save off his right shoulder. Hendrix Lapierre draws the first penalty of the game, a hooking penalty on Taylor Hall at 2:21. Capitals to the power play."
