Washington Capitals vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Game 4 Picks for Monday, 05/12/25

The Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes return to the ice to continue their second-round series in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. It has been a back-and-forth series thus far, and after a dominant 4-0 win in Game 3, the Hurricanes have gathered the series lead at 2-1. Game 4 will be pivotal in the series, and we are here with our Capitals vs Hurricanes prediction to get you set for the action.

It has been tough sledding for Washington’s offense, as they have scored just 4 goals in over 180 minutes of gameplay (less than 1.33 per game). Their solid depth has been outmatched by Carolina’s powerful roster, causing them to be smothered and unable to perform to the level they typically can. Home ice is an advantage that greatly worked in Carolina’s favor, as the energy gave them on-ice strength, and head coach Rod Brind’Amour was able to line-match efficiently. These same factors will likely come into play in Game 4, and the momentum is fully in favor of the Hurricanes. The series may only be 2-1 for Carolina, but Washington has simply not looked anywhere near as good as the Hurricanes. Until the Capitals can get back to form, we are siding with the home team. Take the Canes to win in regulation for our Capitals vs Hurricanes best bet.
