Hurricanes, Capitals renew division rivalry after gutsy wins

The Carolina Hurricanes got the better of the Washington Capitals during last year's playoffs, winning the best-of-seven series in five games. Now the Metropolitan Division rivals will meet for the third time this season on Saturday in the nation's capital.

Both teams have won on each other's home ice, with Washington taking the first meeting 4-1 and Carolina answering back with a 3-2 shootout win a month later.

This time around, both teams are looking for key points before the Olympic break arrives next week.
