The Washington Capitals prepare for the Florida Panthers. The Panthers who are Presidents Trophy winners will be a big challenge, but the Capitals pedigree for winning will help defeat an unproven commodity in the Florida Panthers.

The Florida Panthers struggle in defense and at time in netminding. The Capitals will have to hit them with a big physical game and pepper the goalie with a lot of shots early to rattle their confidence.

The return of Alex Ovechkin will play a big role in the Capitals success.

The Capitals need to find consistent netminding in Vitek Vanecek, Ilya Samsonov or Zach Fucale

The Capitals will have to use their success on the road this season to their advantage as they start the series in Florida
