The Washington Capitals held a 3-0 lead in Game Five over the Florida Panthers with almost half of the game over and done with. That lead evaporated in an instant and the Panthers didn’t just stop there.
That was horrible.

Teams that win Game Five to go up 3-2 in a series win that series 79-percent of the time. So, it’s safe to say this was an important one.
TJ Oshie with yet another goal in this series gave the Caps an early lead. Justin Schultz pounced on a loose puck to double the lead and TJ Oshie would grab another to give them three. Florida would respond with three straight in the second to tie it up as the Caps forget how to play hockey.
Carter Verhaeghe yet again. Claude Giroux sealed it.
Panthers beat Capitals 5-3. Panthers now lead series 3-2.
