Panthers beat Caps 5-2 because no one except Jakob Chychrun can score
"The Florida Panthers had a big weekend, notably losing 9-1 last night. More wired than tired, the Panthers dominated the Caps in the first period, attempting 28 shots to Washington's 13 and doubling them up in expected goals. Connor McMichael could have redeemed that period with strong drive to the net but his goal was overturned because Aliaksei Protas was offside."
"Bailey Johnson reported that Jakob Chychrun's wife Olivia had a baby yesterday. Dad strength isn't a meme. It isn't a joke. It's a physiological fact, proven true once again as the Boca-born blueliner scored twice. Both were brilliant goals. I don't know how the second one got through traffic. The first one was just smooth. Ivan Miroshnichenko got a sweater for the first time this month. He had a critical screen on Chychrun's second goal."
"So we know the Caps are looking for a "higher-end skilled winger." Artemi Panarin's name has been floated, but that's not the guy the Caps want. They should want Jason Robertson. That'd be the blockbuster we've been begging for since early December. It was Pride Night at the rink. Shout out to Lesbians 4 Dylan Strome and We 💙 LGBTVR. Shout out to the in-arena entertainment group for playing bangers all night."
Washington Capitals lost to the Florida Panthers after a slow start and limited scoring beyond Jakob Chychrun, who scored two second-period goals. AJ Greer scored in the first period for the Panthers; Uvis Balinskis added a power-play goal and Sam Bennett capitalized on traffic to extend the lead. Anton Lundell and Carter Verhaege added late goals including an empty-netter. The Panthers dominated the first period with 28 shots and higher expected goals; a Connor McMichael goal was overturned for offside. Ivan Miroshnichenko returned to the lineup. Capitals seek a higher-end skilled winger, with Jason Robertson suggested over Artemi Panarin. Pride Night featured in-arena entertainment and fan groups.
