Florida Panthers vs Washington Capitals Prediction, Bet Builder Tips & Odds | NHL, 22 Mar 2025

Back Caps on the Moneyline

We think that the Capitals should prove too strong for the Panthers. Therefore, it’s all about going to the Moneyline to back the home team and there’s lots of juice in the -112 available.

Panthers Are 8 From 10 on the H2H

Florida Panthers won their previous game 1-0 (OT). This was a road victory at Nationwide Arena against Columbus Blue Jackets. Aleksander Barkov was the only player to score, with Sergei Bobrovsky making 25 saves.

Washington Capitals have enjoyed five consecutive home wins at Capital One Arena. Last time out, Philadelphia Flyers were beaten 3-2. Alexander Ovechkin, Andrew Mangiapane and Brandon Duhaime scored one goal apiece. Goalie Charlie Lindgren played a starring role, stopping 27 shots (.964).

The Caps have claimed victories in the last two encounters against the Panthers. At Amerant Bank Arena, the scoreline was 4-1 and then we saw 6-3 at Capital One Arena. The previous 10 games featuring these teams have resulted in eight the Panthers victories.
