Carter Verhaeghe scored twice, including the game winner in overtime, to get the Florida Panthers back to even 2-2 in the best-of-7 series. Washington held on to a 2-1 lead in the closing minutes of Game 4 before Sam Reinhart scored with 2:04 remaining to take the game into overtime and set up Verhaeghe’s game winner. The Capitals are hoping to get injured forward Tom Wilson back in the lineup after he’s missed the past three games with a lower-body injury. Meanwhile the Panthers are a -220 betting favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook for Wednesday. Washington is +180 for Wednesday.
