2023 NHL Stadium Series: Capitals vs Hurricanes Prediction, Odds & Player Prop of the Game

The Washington Capitals roll into Raleigh to take on the red hot Carolina Hurricanes in a Saturday night Metropolitan Division showdown.

It is a beautiful Saturday NHL slate and this battle between division rivals should be one of the marquee matchups of the day.

Not only is it a rematch of two teams that played just last week, this game will be played outdoors as part of the NHL Stadium Series in Carter-Finley Stadium, home of the NC State Wolf Pack.

Prediction

The entire city of Raleigh is fired up for this outdoor game tonight as their beloved Hurricanes take on their division foes, the Washington Capitals.

They will have plenty to cheer for tonight, because of the amazing atmosphere that comes with a NHL Stadium Series outdoor game for sure, but also because the Hurricanes are on absolute fire.

The Canes are sitting first in the Metropolitan division, have won 2 in a row and have bagged 9 of their last 10 games.

Both of these teams just faced off two games ago, which saw the Canes grabbing a gutsy 3-2 win in Capital One Arena in DC.

Tonight, the stage will be set and the lights will be bright as these two face off yet again for what should be an entertaining Saturday night slugfest.

As far as betting on this game, I am going to take the under in this awesome NHL yearly event.

The last 2 Stadium Series games have gone under the total. The last 2 matchups between the Hurricanes and the Capitals have also gone under, both ending with 5 goals.

I expect a defensive matchup tonight and both goal tenders to play big parts in what should be a fantastic Outdoor Series game once again.

Best Bet

Under 5.5 (-105)

Player Prop of the Game

Teuvo Teravainen o2.5 SOGs (+100)

Let's cap this off with one of the hotter Canes at the awesome plus money value.

Teravainen has been fantastic recently, ripping 3+ Shots on goal in 4 straight games and 5 of his last 6.

He had 5 in the last matchup 2 games ago against the Capitals and followed it up with another 5 shot performance last game against the Canadiens.

I expect this number to move from the +100 value so grab it while you can on BetOnline!
