NHL Stadium Series preview
Potentially ice-melting weather aside, the NHL could have hardly planned North Carolina's first-ever outdoor game better. The Eastern Metropolitan division rivals faced off earlier this week in a game that went down to the wire and was decided by a contentious goaltender interference call that denied the Capitals a game-tying goal right at the last.
That was the Hurricanes' first victory since the All-Star break, and with the Devils sitting on their shoulder in the division standings, Rod Brind'Amour would have been a relieved man. It was his challenge that ultimately secured victory for the Canes, but he'll know that if the Caps were going to bring it before, he can expect Peter Laviolette's men to be driven by twice the motivation now.
The Capitals have played in three previous outdoor games and won them all, whereas this is all new to their opponents. However, they're once again set to be without main man Alex Ovechkin, who's in Moscow attending to a serious family matter.
His teammates will have their captain in their minds as they hit the rink at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, but can they account for his quality and experience with sheer heart and determination? Defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, whose goal was chalked off on Tuesday, and forward T.J. Oshie, who was deemed to be obstructing Canes goaltender Frederik Andersen, will certainly be up for the fight.
