After dropping both Game 3 and 4 at the Lenovo Center, the Second Round series returns to the Capital One Arena on Thursday night. While it's tough to come back and win a best-of-seven series when you're down 3-1, Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery is taking it one game at a time.

For part of Monday night, the Washington Capitals stunk. For other parts, they tried desperately to remain with the Carolina Hurricanes — and just about did. But think about that for a second. It feels as if the Capitals are merely trying to hold on to this second-round Stanley Cup playoff series with the tips of their fingernails as the Hurricanes rip it away from them.
