Best NHL Odds for Every Game Today (Odds, Puck Lines, Totals and Promos for Monday, December 19)

The last time Washington Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson took the ice, he dropped a hat trick against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference; outscoring the Toronto Maple Leafs on his own in a 5-2 victory.

Even crazier? The three goals for Gustafsson were his first three of the season! It's the second hat trick in the last week for the Capitals after Alex Ovechkin scored career goals 798. 799, and 800 in their victory against the Chicago Blackhawks back on Tuesday, December 13.

Now, Washington looks to make it seven wins in their last eight games when they host a Detroit Red Wings team that's lost five straight.

Monday's eight-game slate offers up several noteworthy matchups, particularly in the Eastern Conference. Beginning at 6 p.m. ET, the Florida Panthers head to Boston to face the Bruins, who remain undefeated in non-overtime games at home. Boston is 16-0-2 in 18 games at TD Garden so far this year.

The 2021 Presidents' Trophy winning Panthers have struggled to find consistency all season, and would be out of the playoffs if the season ended today. Florida is just 1-6 in their last seven games following a win, and are struggled mightily vs. Boston; going just 16-37 in their last 53 games (via Covers).
