Schule's NHL BEAST of the EAST - *EARLY START*
(NHL) Carolina vs. Washington, 03/31/2015 3:00 PM, Score: 2 - 4
Money Line: -200.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on the Washington Capitals.

The Caps will host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, and this is a game that Washington needs to win. The Caps are just three points ahead of the eighth place Bruins, and they can't afford to head into the playoffs on a losing streak. They beat the Rangers by a score of 5-2 on Sunday, and I wouldn't expect them to have a lot of trouble at home against a Hurricanes team that will miss the playoffs again this year. Alex Ovechkin found the net twice in the win over the Rangers, and he needs just one more to reach 50 for the season. You don't need me to tell you that Ovi is going to be firing on all cylinders looking for his 50th. Braden Holtby has been as solid as a rock for the Caps, allowing just two goals in four of his last five starts. We should see a one-sided hockey game at the Verizon Center tonight.

Take WAS.
