Sam Bennett said that the Florida Panthers loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday had a little playoff atmosphere, it was probably a little too wide open for Paul Maurice’s tastes. Maurice said he certainly liked the way the Panthers looked in the first two periods.

The defending champion Florida Panthers will visit the Capital One Arena on Tuesday night to play the Washington Capitals. Washington (34-11-7, in the Metropolitan Division) has been playing lights out all season and currently has 75 points, second to NHL-leading Winnipeg (77).

When the Florida Panthers meet the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Tuesday (beginning at 7:00 PM ET), Sam Reinhart and Dylan Strome should be two of the most exciting players to keep an eye on.
