Capitals Rally Past Panthers 4-3, End Skid

The Washington Capitals rallied from a first-period deficit to beat the Florida Panthers 4-3, snapping a two-game losing streak as Jack St. Ivany scored his first NHL goal and Pierre-Luc Dubois and Aliaksei Protas each had a goal and an assist. Brady Tkachuk scored twice for Florida, while Washington’s Tom Wilson was ejected for a boarding hit that sent Sandis Vilmanis out of the game; the Panthers threatened late but could not tie the score.
