The Washington Capitals, fresh off of a 4-3 overtime win on Friday night thanks to Alex Ovechkin’s NHL record 20th overtime goal, return home on Saturday night to host the Florida Panthers.
After winning their first two games of the season the Capitals have stumbled a little bit over the past couple of weeks winning just two of their past six games. They are looking to win consecutive games for the first time since those back-to-back wins to open the season.
The Panthers, meanwhile, are coming off of a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night that cost them goaltender Roberto Luongo who was placed on injured reserve on Saturday afternoon.
