Injuries are threatening to tip the balance of a handful of first-round series around the NHL playoffs.

Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe each had a goal and an assist and the Florida Panthers topped the Washington Capitals 5-1 on Thursday night to even their Eastern Conference first-round series at a game apiece.

Claude Giroux and Sam Bennett scored for Florida, which has not won the opening game of a postseason series since 1997. The Panthers argued for an icing call that didn’t come on the play where the game got tied. Bennett tied the game late in the first, Giroux made it 2-1 in the second, but the Panthers were blanked the rest of the way. The penalty on Gudas at 0:49 of the first was the third-fastest opening penalty Florida had committed this season.
