WASHINGTON — T.J. Oshie scored twice, including the go-ahead goal during a third-period flurry, as the Capitals beat the Panthers, 4-2, Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory.

Oshie, Alex Ovechkin and Lars Eller scored three goals on five shots in less than five minutes as Washington finally cracked Roberto Luongo. Florida's goaltender had flummoxed the Capitals for much of the game and finished with 32 saves.

Jared McCann and Reilly Smith scored for the Panthers, who were opportunistic despite being outshot 36-24. McCann's goal was his first with Florida after an offseason trade from Vancouver.

Capitals starter Braden Holtby made 22 saves for his sixth win of the season. Ovechkin's goal was his seventh of the season, and he added an assist on Oshie's second-period goal.

Luongo was stellar for the first two-plus periods after the Panthers gave him a lead with McCann's first goal of the season 5:17 into the game. AP
