Result: Loss
ASA TOP PLAY ON Carolina Hurricanes -120 over Washington Capitals, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - The Capitals are starting Vitek Vanecek in goal for the first time in over a month because Ilya Samsonov is out with an injury suffered in practice yesterday.  Though Vanecek played some in the 5-3 loss to Toronto Monday, this is still his first start in 5 weeks and he is facing one of the top teams in the league.  We are getting a great price on Carolina here because the Capitals are on home ice but Washington has not been strong at home this season!  In fact, the Caps have just 12 wins in 28 games as a host this season!  The Capitals enter this game on an overall 3-game losing streak and having lost 11 of last 14 homes games including 6 in a row!  Carolina is in a great bounce back spot here as they are off an OT loss which followed a 5-game winning streak.  The Hurricanes also have revenge on their minds here as they lost to division rival Washington 4-2 much earlier this season in Carolina.  That is one of only 4 regulation losses the Hurricanes have had on home ice this entire season so they have not forgotten!  So here you have a Canes team in a bounce back spot and playing with revenge and against a division rival and it is a team that is struggling and you get line value because of that struggling team being on home ice where by the way, that team has lost 6 straight anyway!  Value simply off the charts in this one!  Take advantage of the low money line price with the road team here for a Top Game.
