Washington at Florida

The Capitals have allowed only one goal in eight of their last 13 games. It's one of the reasons they have the top-ranked defense in the NHL, allowing only 2.4 goals per game. Another reason is the stellar goaltending of Logan Thompson, who has a 1.56 GAA and a .934 save percentage. Thompson is projected to be in net today. The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers remain without two key offensive cogs, injured Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov. Their scoring is way down because of that. The Panthers rank 28th in goals per game at 2.6. This has forced Florida to become extremely defensive-minded. The Panthers are a top-15 defensive team, allowing the second-fewest shots on goal. They are back home, having defeated Las Vegas, 3-2, three days ago on the road. There is only one way to look at this matchup—Take the UNDER.
