In a pair of Game 6 matchups Monday, the defending champion Washington Capitals battle the Carolina Hurricanes on the road, while the Dallas Stars host the Nashville Predators.

Washington Capitals (+105) at Carolina Hurricanes (-120), 7 p.m. ET

After jumping out to a 2-0 series lead, it appeared Washington was headed for a sweep, but now the Caps are in a tough fight.

The Hurricanes bounced back with 5-0 and 2-1 victories, but Washington ripped away momentum with a 6-0 Game 5 win.

The Hurricanes are 13-3 SU in their last 16 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. Even though there's no guarantee Carolina goaltender Petr Mrazek is at his best, this has been a home-ice series.
