And so it’s set.

Capitals vs. Hurricanes. Red, white, and blue vs. red and black. A rivalry that has traveled from the Southeast to the Metropolitan and now finally makes the move to the postseason. The defending Stanley Cup champs against a team whose playoff hopes have been on hold for a decade. Unleashing the fury vs. a surging storm. A jerk vs. a team of jerks. The return of old friend Justin Williams. Jakub Vrana vs. Sebastian Aho. John Carlson vs. Dougie Hamilton.
