Florida Panthers vs Washington Capitals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/04/25

Two Eastern Conference powerhouses will be battling it out as the Washington Capitals host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Both of these teams have elite groups of forwards that have the capability of putting crooked numbers up on the scoreboard. The Capitals are the leagues second-highest scoring team, averaging 3.50 goals per game. The Panthers are not too far behind, averaging 3.28 goals per game. In their last two outings, the Capitals have seen a total of 18 goals scored. Likewise for the Panthers, in their last two outings there has been 15 goals scored. The Panthers have the most shots on goal this season, look for them to keep this trend up.

With a low game total of 5.5 goals, the books are anticipating a tight playoff style of game between these two Stanley Cup contenders. We saw this in the Capitals last outing against the Jets, a total of 5.5 between two solid defensive hockey teams and that game ended with a final score of 5-4. I think the offense is going to take over in this game also. I will be rooting for a lot of goals in this one. Give me the over.

Panthers vs Capitals prediction: Over 5.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
