In analyzing previous encounters, the Hurricanes have secured victory in 7 out of the last 10 meetings with the Capitals, who have also won 7 times. This historical parity hints at a competitive edge for both teams as they go head-to-head once again.

The most recent clash between these two teams occurred on Thursday, May 15, 2025, where the Hurricanes emerged victorious with a 3-1 triumph as the visiting team.
