The oddsmakers have hung a high number on the total here at 6. The Panthers are off back-to-back games where either they or their opponent has been shutout, and seven of their last nine failing to reach the total. The Capitals have played a couple "outliner" games scoring 8, and allowing 7 in two consecutive games, so I would expect that to normalize here. The Panthers are now 7-1 to the UNDER when posted as a dog of up to +150, and these teams have had a long history of playing low in Florida where the UNDER has prevailed to the tune of a 19-7-2 in the last 28 here. I'll back the UNDER in this one.
