Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers (58-18-6; 42-40 ATS) are getting inconsistent goaltending out of Sergi Bobrovsky through the first three games.

Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals (44-26-12; 42-40 ATS) turned to Ilya Samsonov in Game 3 and he was outstanding, stopping 29 of 30 shots. Samsonov came in relief in Game 2 and has now stopped 47 of 48 shots, posting a .979 save percentage in the series.
Alex Ovechkin scored his first goal of the postseason and is tied with Nicklas Backstrom with four points each. The Capitals power-play has been spectacular, scoring at least one in all three games and are 4-12 (25%) overall.
