Florida at Washington

Washington wants to win this game. They have lost five of six to the Panthers here at home over the past three seasons. Florida beat them big earlier this month and big twice last month. This one has meaning for Washington. Florida is just 7-25 on the season away from home. In division contests they are allowing 3.7 goals per game. Washington is no great team but they are at least 14-18 at home and scoring 3.2 per game and 3.3 vs. division foes. Florida comes off a rare road blowout win as they beat Boston 7-2. But, they are just 1-13 in their last fourteen coming off a road win by 4+ goals. Take the motivated home team.
