Hurricanes at Capitals: Will The Trends Play Out Tonight?
March 3rd, 2009Just one point separates the Carolina Hurricanes from the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They had a golden opportunity to snatch the 8 spot in their last game visiting the woeful Thrashers but gave up 4 straight goals en route to a 6-2 loss.
Things only get tougher from here.
Tonight, the Canes face the 40-19 Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center where the Caps are 25-7 on the season. More importantly for sports bettors though, it’s a place where the Washington is 16-8 OVER against teams ranked outside the top 10 in ESPN’s power rankings.
The Caps are coming off their own surpisingly tough loss, a 6-2 beat down at home at the hands of the up and down Florida Panthers. The good news for bettors though is that Washington, who is 11-2-2 OVER in their last 14 overall games, is 14-4 OVER after allowing 4 or more goals this season and 8-1 OVER following a loss by 3 goals or more.
Carolina who is 8-4 OVER in their last 12 games helps our trend out with a 7-1 OVER mark following 5 straight games with 30 or more shots on goal and an impressive 11-5 OVER mark after having won 4 of their last 6 games this season.
With Carolina having two full days of rest between road games and having a lot to play for, and Washington looking to bounce back from an embarrassing home loss, the trends certainly could be pointing us in the right direction in this one.
