Capitals vs. Panthers Game Two Recap: Panthers Overwhelm Caps With 5-1 Win
After an excellent outing in Sunrise on Tuesday night, the Washington Capitals return to FLA Live Arena to face the Florida Panthers for Game 2 of their Round 1 series. The Caps, the heavy underdogs in this series, were far and away the better team in Game 1 and jumped out to a 1-0 series lead with a 4-2 win. The Panthers will be looking to even things up tonight, but the Caps are hoping to keep the pressure on the Cats and steal a second game in Florida.
After missing most of Tuesday night’s game with a lower-body injury, Tom Wilson remains out of the lineup tonight. Keeping that in mind, Washington’s lines looked like this in warmups:
