The Panthers lost for the sixth time in seven games and have just one win in their last five home games as well. Niko Mikkola got the goal for Florida and Spencer Knight made 27 saves. Eller and Ivan Miroshnichenko had empty-netters to seal the win for the Capitals.

Reinhart’s best chance might have been a straight-on shot from the slot with 6:59 left, but Thompson made the save. Key moment Chychrun’s goal with 18:42 left was the game-winner, and came with the Capitals enjoying a 5-on-3 advantage. Key stat Eller has scored in three games this season.
