The Washington Capitals have won six in a row and recorded at least a point in 10 of their last 11 contests (10-0-1), marking their longest point streak since a 14-game run (12-0-2) from Dec. 29, 2016 to Jan. 23, 2017. The red-hot Capitals aim to keep surging on Monday when they host the Arizona Coyotes, who have lost a season-high three consecutive contests (0-2-1).

The Carolina Hurricanes have reversed course following two pronounced winning streaks, answering five victories to start the season with losses in four of their next five while a recent three-game streak has been countered with four losses in a row. The Hurricanes aim to turn the tide once again on Monday when they host the Ottawa Senators to complete a home-and-home series.
