Bet of the Day - 11.12.2025

The Washington Capitals welcome the Carolina Hurricanes to the Capital One Arena. This will be a clash between the Metro's top two sides. Washington sit first in the division, with Carolina just one point behind. With a high-stakes battle ahead, make sure to check our prediction below.

The Capitals have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL recently, winning nine of their last ten games. Their latest outing was a confident 2-0 shutout of Columbus, with Logan Thompson giving us another sharp performance in goal. The Capitals have also shown they can explode offensively with that 7-1 win over San Jose. Alex Ovechkin remains a driving force, already up to 14 goals and 15 assists.

The Hurricanes have been a bit up and down lately, alternating wins and losses over their last five games. However, they're still firmly in the Metro race, right on the Capital's heels. Their most recent performance was a strong 4-1 win over Columbus, where they controlled the pace and finished the job with a big third period. Scoring hasn't always come easy recently, but Seth Jarvis continues to shine with 17 goals and eight assists, providing the spark Carolina often leans on in tight games.

Washington look like the stronger, more consistent side right now. Their recent surge makes it hard to bet against them. In addition, the Capitals boast one of the league's best defensive records, allowing just 2.40 goals per game. With that momentum at home, our prediction is the Washington Capitals to win at 1.95.
