Florida at Washington

Florida has won three in a row and the Panthers can thank third-string goalie, Alex Lyon, who replaced Sergei Bobrovsky (non-COVID illness) and has won his past four starts while allowing only five goals and he had 39 saves in a 2-1 win over Buffalo on Tuesday and 56 saves in a 7-2 victory over Ottawa two nights later and that was one save away from a franchise record. Washington is out of the playoffs and Charlie Lindgren is likely and he has given up 16 goals his past three starts. Florida is battling for playoff postseason and has won five straight and the Panthers are 42-13 versus teams with losing records and they have won the past five meetings. The Capitals have lost 13 of 16 versus the Eastern Conference and 18 of 24 overall and Florida has the clear incentive advantage in this game. Play the Panthers as a Max Play.
