Panthers present challenges for Capitals, coach Glen Hanlon
The Panthers hope they get more respect from the Capitals Sunday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as 130 underdogs.
Florida brings an 11-19-4 overall mark (4-5-0 in the division) into this game versus a Washington team carrying a 10-18-2 record.
The Panthers come in as a slight 130 road underdog and look to improve on their 11-19-4 mark. The Capitals, 10-18-2, will try to pay out for bettors at home. Totals bettors see the line opened at 6.
After losing last time out, Jacques Martin's team looks to rebound with a solid showing on the road Sunday in Washington. They were 175 moneyline underdogs in that game, which went under the total of 7.
Glen Hanlon's troops were at San Jose against the Sharks last game and came away with a 4-1 loss, a game that went under 6.5. Oddsmakers had them as 280 money line underdogs in that one.
With the league's #28-ranked offence, Florida either needs a breakout game or it's up to the defence to keep them in this one. The Panthers average just 2.5 goals per game.
