Florida at Washington

Alex Ovechkin has four points in 14 games, and he is projected to skate on Washington's third line with Justin Sourdif and Anthony Beauvillier. That pushes the Capitals' offense onto the top line of Alex Tuch, Dylan Strome, and Jordan Kyrou. Tuch leads the club with 10 goals on 39 shots, none of them on the power play. Kyrou and Strome share the team lead with 14 points each. A club that leans on three forwards for its scoring has little behind them when that line has a quiet night. Florida opens a three-game road trip without Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand, both listed with knee injuries. Sam Bennett is projected to center Brady and Matthew Tkachuk, which leaves Sam Reinhart to anchor the second line with Carter Verhaeghe and Sandis Vilmanis, with Anton Lundell centering the third line. Matthew Tkachuk's 22 points lead the Panthers, and Reinhart and Verhaeghe share the team lead with nine goals each. I'm on the UNDER this afternoon.
