Summary
-- Carter Verhaeghe's dream game for the Florida Panthers was a nightmare for the Washington Capitals.Verhaeghe had two goals and three assists to help the Panthers rally from three goals down for a 5-3 victory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday.Verhaeghe's five points were an NHL career high and the most in a playoff game in the history of the Panthers, who took a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series and can advance with another win in Game 6 at Washington on Friday (7:30 p.m. ET; TBS, SN360, TVAS, NBCSWA, BSFL)."Things are going pretty well right now for me and the team," Verhaeghe said. Verhaeghe then won it 4:57 into overtime.That was minor escape for the Panthers compared to their Houdini act on Wednesday, when they fell behind 3-0 after T.J. Oshie scored on a 2-on-1 with Evgeny Kuznetsov at 3:38 of the second period.But if Florida appeared unfazed despite trailing by three goals, it's because it led the League with 29 comeback wins this season, including five when it trailed by at least three goals.Among those five was a 5-4 win against the Capitals on Nov. 30, when it trailed 4-1 in the third period."I think sometimes it's a little liberating for our group," Panthers coach Andrew Brunette said of falling behind. Capitals series coverage] Verhaeghe started Florida's comeback at 6:50 of the second, scoring near the right post after Aleksander Barkov's shot from above the left circle caromed to him off the end boards.Verhaeghe then sprung Patric Hornqvist for a breakaway goal that cut it 3-2 at 12:27, and Reinhart tied it 2:14 later by jamming in Verhaeghe's rebound at the left post."He's been the best player on the ice both these two games," Hornqvist said.
