"Washington Capitals' Six-Game Skid Continues Against Florida Panthers"

The Washington Capitals suffered their sixth consecutive loss, falling 4-2 to the Florida Panthers and are now on the brink of being 10 points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers dominated the Capitals at five-on-five, out-attempting, out-scoring, and out-chancing them by significant margins. Despite Darcy Kuemper's strong performance in goal, the Capitals struggled to keep up. Anthony Mantha and Alex Ovechkin contributed goals, but the team's overall performance was lackluster. With the trade deadline approaching, attention may shift to selling off assets, and the team's goal differential now ties them with the Montreal Canadiens for the fourth-worst in the NHL.
