The Carolina Hurricanes look to extend their series lead to 3-1 when they host the Washington Capitals on Monday, May 12, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. The game will air live on TNT.
Carolina shut out Washington 4-0 in Game 3, with Frederik Andersen posting a flawless performance between the pipes. Now the Hurricanes are heavy favorites at -238 on the moneyline, while the Capitals look to respond as +195 underdogs.

🔮 Hurricanes vs. Capitals Game 4 Prediction
Carolina’s defensive structure and goaltending have been the story of the series, but Washington is unlikely to roll over, especially with their playoff experience. Expect the Capitals to push this game to the wire, making +1.5 on the puck line a smart value play.
Given the defensive dominance and goaltending excellence on both sides, the Under 5.5 feels like the safest bet on the board.
Final Score Prediction:
Hurricanes 2, Capitals 1
- Puck Line Pick: Capitals +1.5 (-135)
- Moneyline Pick: Hurricanes (-238)
- Total Pick: Under 5.5 (-120)
