Florida bounced back from its Game 1 loss with a solid showing on Thursday when Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe each had a goal and an assist to back Sergei Bobrovsky, who stopped 26 shots. Bobrovsky finished 13-2 in the regular season and now is 40-8-1-2 with a 2.64 goals-against average and .913 save percentage. Ilya Samsonov relieved Vitek Vanecek after the Panthers scored five goals on 18 shots and Samsonov stopped all 17 shots he faced and will likely be the starter on Saturday. Washington has lost five of its last six games although most of those were without Alex Ovechkin. The Panthers are 2-6-2 UNDER their past 10 games and the Capitals are 6-2-1 UNDER their past nine while averaging only 2.22 goals. Florida is 39-12 after scoring at least five goals its previous game and 41-17 playing with one day of rest. Washington is 2-7 its past nine conference quarterfinal games and the Caps are 32-14-7 UNDER their past 53 playoff games as underdogs. Florida is 8-2-4 UNDER its past 14 games as a favorite. Play the Panthers and the UNDER.
