"After the Capitals had a goal wiped off the board, the Panthers opened the scoring 13:23 into the first when Sam Bennett tracked down Aaron Ekblad's dump in. Bennett tried to come out in front and stuff the puck past Logan Thompson. Thompson denied the bid, but kicked the puck out to A.J. Greer and he buried it to reach double-digit goals for the first time in his career."
"With the teams skating 4-on-4, Jakob Chychrun dropped the puck Aliaksei Protas, who was able to lug the puck into the Florida zone through traffic before backhanding back to Chychrun, who beat Daniil Tarasov with a beautiful wrister from the left circle. The secondary helper went to John Carlson. Chychrun would strike again eight minutes later to put the home team on top."
"Bennett would come up big 1:04 later to forge a 2-2 tie. After Tobias Bjönfot's shot was blocked, he regained possession and fed Niko Mikkola, who passed to Carter Verhaeghe on the right side. Verhaeghe curled up into the middle off the ice and sent the puck down low, where it bounced off of Dylan Strome and came to Bennett, who quickly banged it home."
The Florida Panthers rebounded from a poor earlier outing by defeating the Washington Capitals 5-2 to close a six-game road trip on a positive note. A.J. Greer opened scoring after a sequence off Logan Thompson, and Sam Bennett tied the game before the intermission. Jakob Chychrun scored twice for Washington, including a long-range wrister and another goal on a set play. A power-play sequence after a delay-of-game on Alex Ovechkin led to a go-ahead goal, and Florida’s timely finishing and special-teams play secured the victory.
