The Washington Capitals play out their final road game of 2025 on Monday, visiting the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.
The Capitals are looking to make it two wins in two away outings after sneaking past the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. Jakob Chychrun gave the team a 4-3 win in overtime.
Washington has won back-to-back games only once in December, and that was at the start of the month when the team carried over a winning streak from November. Since a 9-1-0 stretch, Spencer Carbery’s team has won only three of 10 games.
Florida also begins the new week of action following a loss, going down 4-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. However, Paul Maurice’s side has been on a hot streak lately, posting an 8-3-0 record over the last 11 games.
The Panthers haven’t lost two consecutive outings since a four-game losing streak a month ago. Maurice’s men have remained competitive despite dealing with several injuries, and the outlook for 2026 appears bright.
On Monday, the two teams meet in Sunrise for the second time this season. Florida crushed Washington 6-3 in November, with Brad Marchand recording his 1,000th career point in the contest.

Our Florida Panthers vs Washington Capitals Prediction
The Capitals have impressed with their defense this season, allowing 2.68 goals per game. Only six teams have had a better mark than their .908 save percentage. Yet, the team has recently been involved in many high-scoring matchups, as the level of defense hasn’t been the same.
Florida is ranked inside the bottom 10 in save percentage and has allowed 3.16 goals per game. While Sergei Bobrovsky has improved his form in the Panthers' crease lately, there has been a lot of scoring in Florida’s most recent games -- five games of their last six outings have featured at least six goals.
Our prediction for Washington Capitals vs. Florida Panthers: Over 5.5 goals.
