Carolina is showing quite good hockey at the start of this season. Yes, the Hurricanes could have had better results, but overall they are doing well. They have five wins, three losses, and 11 points in eight games. So they're in third place in the Metropolitan Division. After defeating Vancouver (3:2), Carolina failed to the Islanders (2:6) and in the last game to Philadelphia (4:3).

Washington started the campaign worse. They played nine games and managed to win five, losing four times. Therefore, the Capitals are in sixth place in the Capital Division standings with ten points. As for Washington's last games, after the shutout against Dallas (0:2), they beat Nashville 3:0.

• At least six goals were scored in five of the last eight games between these teams.
• In three of the last four meetings with Carolina, more than one goal has been scored in the first period.

We agree with the experts and consider Carolina to be the favorite. The Hurricanes look more powerful than Washington, plus they will play with the fans' support. They're certainly capable of scoring three points. However, the Capitals should not be ignored either - they will put up a fight and can even take the game to overtime. That's why we choose a non-win for the home team with at least five goals.
