Washington Capitals vs Florida Panthers Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 11/24/24, 2:10 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 11/24/24 at 9:12 PM in NHL Picks

The NHL Eastern Conference is already delivering a lot of surprises in the standings, and one of the most remarkable is the presence of Washington Capitals in the top 3 with 27 points. Even so, they’ll visit Florida Panthers next Monday at 06:00 pm Central Time, a match that is expected to be one of the most even in the schedule.

When looking at Florida Panthers’ performance, the current NHL champions are crossing through very challenging times after losing their last 3 games in a row. However, they’ve still managed to keep as the best offensive in the Atlantic Division with 74 scored goals, but showing an important dependency on Sam Reinhart, who cooperated with 4 goals and 3 assists in their last 5 games.

On Washington Capitals’ case, this team remains as the best offensive in the Eastern Conference with 81 scored goals, but that hasn’t been enough to avoid their current streak of 2 losses in a row. Despite those bad results, it must be noted that they won their last 3 consecutive away games, in which they displayed an astonishing offensive level, scoring 5 or more goals per game. Nevertheless, the only player that has really had a positive impact in the short and long terms is Alex Ovechkin, but he won’t be available for the next 4-6 weeks due to a serious injury to his left leg.
