"The Capitals beat the Hurricanes and seemingly absorbed their powers as they recorded 17 shots in the first period alone, the most they have put up in an opening frame this season. However, the defensive effort was lacking, as although the Panthers only had six shots of their own, they actually came out of the first period up 6-4 in high-danger chances. Logan Thompson had to be sharp."
"Brandon Duhaime, a Florida man in his own right, opened another game's scoring to give him goals in three straight games, a feat that he had never before achieved in the NHL. Rasmus Sandin, who I think has been brilliant lately, recorded the assist on the goal, the 100th helper in his career. Really good to see Jakob Chychrun quickly return to the ice after he took a shot off the leg early in the contest."
Florida Panthers defeated the Washington Capitals 6-3 in a game featuring multiple lead changes and power-play scoring. Brandon Duhaime opened scoring and extended a personal three-game goal streak. Sam Reinhart scored twice, including a power-play goal, and Eetu Luostarinen added an empty-netter. Cole Schwindt and Seth Jones also scored for Florida. Rasmus Sandin and Justin Sourdif replied for Washington, and Logan Thompson made key saves amid high-danger chances. The Capitals recorded 17 first-period shots but lagged defensively. Jakob Chychrun returned after a leg shot and sits on pace for a new career scoring high.
