The #Canes get a point and lock up home ice in Round 1 against the Devils, but fall to the Capitals in a shootout tonight, 5-4. Carolina was good in the first and the third, but a three-goal second period by Washington is what will be remembered from this one.
No winner decided in OT, so for just the third time this season, the #Canes are going to a shootout. Carolina is 0-2 in the skills competition this season, dropping both to Columbus. Washington is 1-3.
