Our second game of NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers going for the season sweep against the Washington Capitals. Florida is expected to give Daniil Tarasov the call in goal after a disastrous 9-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes the night before. The Panthers are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games entering this old Southeast Division matchup. Brad Marchand leads the club in assists (23) and points (46).
Logan Thompson is the projected starter for the Capitals, who are also 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. However, Washington did lose to the San Jose Sharks in its last time on the ice. Tom Wilson leads the club in goals (22) and points (42).
Both teams are looking for consistency. However, Florida is just a bit irritated after such a terrible performance against Carolina.
Predictions: Hurricanes win 4-2.
