The Florida Panthers cashed in on a power play in the waning seconds to edge the Washington Capitals 3-2 on a night that saw the local franchise honor the victims of the Parkland shooting in an emotional pregame ceremony that left fans and some players with tears in their eyes.
Maxim Mamim, playing in his eighth game, scored his first NHL goal 4:50 after puck drop to give the Panthers an early lead. After taking a deft pass from Mamim, Jared McCann made a nice play to get the puck back to Ian McCoshen at the left point.
