WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals will have revenge on their minds when they face the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday in the second game of a home-and-home series.

Ray Whitney continued his points streak with a goal and three assists to lead the defending Stanley Cup champions to a 6-2 victory over Washington on Friday.

Whitney, who leads the Hurricanes with 57 points, extended his points streak to nine games in which he has four goals and nine assists.

Washington All-Star left wing Alex Ovechkin scored to extend his points streak to 10 games. Ovechkin, whose 30 goals are tied for second in the league, has five goals and 11 assists during his streak.

Ovechkin, who had a goal in Wednesday's All-Star Game, has 66 points, including 16 in 10 games in January.

Chris Clark also scored for slumping Washington, which has lost five of its last six games.

The Hurricanes have won three of four meetings with the Capitals this season.
