Panthers beat Capitals in overtime in Game 4, tie series
Sam Reinhart tied it late in regulation, Carter Verhaeghe scored his second of the game in overtime and the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Florida Panthers beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 in Game 4 Monday night, tying the first-round series. Verhaeghe scored 4:57 into overtime to keep the NHL’s best regular-season team from getting pushed to the brink of elimination much earlier in the playoffs than expected. “It’s hard out there — everyone’s got to play a little harder,†said Verhaeghe, who played eight games on the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 2020 Cup run in the bubble.
