The Washington Capitals won Game 5 of their National Hockey League first-round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 (4-1 in the series) and advanced to the Stanley Cup quarterfinals, where they will play the Carolina Hurricanes.
Carolina faced the New Jersey Devils in the first round of the playoffs and won the series 4-1.
It should be noted that the teams have already met in the Stanley Cup quarterfinals in the 2018/2019 season. Then, Carolina won the series with a score of 4-3 and advanced further.
