The Carolina Hurricanes look upon one of the hardest back to back sets the league could have dealt them. Tonight they will play in Washinton before coming home to play Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow night. The Hurricanes see a couple familiar faces tonight as it will be their first game against Joe Corvo and Scott Walker, who had an emotional sendoff from Carolina. The Washington Capitals have not lost a game at home in regulation since playing the Carolina Hurricanes on December 28, 2010. The Hurricanes are looking for their 9th win in their last 10 games and their 4th since the Olympic break. The Hurricanes refuse to die as they have not officially been eliminated from the playoffs, even though they Hurricanes would have to get a lot of help to make the playoffs. The Hurricanes will have to play another sound defensive game like they did against Atlanta to have a shot to beat the Capitals in Washington.
