Recap: Verhaeghe powers Panthers to 5-3 comeback win over Capitals

Carter Verhaeghe scored two goals, including the game-winner, and drew the primary assist on three others in a tour de force performance to lead the Florida Panthers to an exhilarating 5-3 comeback victory over the Washington Capitals.

After allowing an unattended T.J. Oshie to deflect in his fourth of the series on a first period power play, the Cats found themselves down by three early in the middle frame.

Aaron Ekblad and Sergei Bobrovsky failed to work together to get a puck covered and Justin Schultz took advantage of the miscue and lifted the loose disk into the net at 2:13.
