The last time Philipp Grubauer was in net for the Capitals, his teammates left him to fend for himself. Instead, the Capitals sunk themselves and Grubauer with costly penalties, falling into an early three-goal hole en route to a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers at Capital One Arena. The Capitals trailed 3-0 after allowing their second power-play goal of the game just 8:58 into the second period. The Capitals out-chanced and outshot the Panthers 42-23, but the abundance of opportunities didn’t translate to more than one goal against Florida goalie James Reimer. Five-on-five, I thought we were playing much better than them.”The Capitals were assessed four more penalties in the second period.
