Panthers +1.5 PL+105
The Florida Panthers will be in spoiler mode this evening as they skate into Washington to take on a Capital team that is 1 point away from claiming the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. Florida holds the edge in the season series at 4-3, though Washington has won 3 of the last 4 by a combined score of 12 to 8. Florida comes in winning two in a row, including last nights upset of the Carolina Hurricanes, while the Capitals have won there last 5 in a row coming into tonights contest. Craig Anderson, the netminder of record in last nights victory for Florida, is expected to get the start in place of Vokoun, who is nursing a sore back. Anderson has a record of 8-5-1, with a G.A.A of 2.19, to go with a spectacular 936 save percentage. He is 0-2 lifetime against the Caps, with a G.A.A. of 2.52, and 900 save percentage. Though I believe the Capitals will come out on the winning side in this game, I believe this Florida team will be a game opponent. Just my opinion, any suggestions regarding this or any other matchup tonight would be greatly appreciated.BOL
