Florida Panthers -1.5 (+200) over Washington Capitals
One of the first games to drop the puck will be in the nation's capital. Right off the bat, the biggest note for this game is the absence of Alex Ovechkin. The future Hall-of-Famer will be gone for the foreseeable future due to a family matter. While that's all the detail we have, that's a huge blow to a Caps team that is already dealing with injuries. Key skaters such as John Carlson and Tom Wilson are among them, and such key defensive-minded players are a huge absence when facing a team like the Panthers.'
