Both Florida and Washington are struggling defensively. Both have bad backup goalies who are expected to be in net today. Both teams have above average offenses.

That in a nutshell is why I like this game to go Over.

The Panthers give up the third-most goals. They are giving up four goals a game and are prey to red-hot Alex Ovechkin, who already has 10 goals and a strong history against Florida with 73 points in 57 career games.

Both teams have top-14 offenses. The combined record of Over/Unders between these two teams is 12 Overs and 2 Unders.
