The Florida Panthers are looking to eliminate the Washington Capitals in Game 6. However, they could try to do it without two of their most important defensemen.
Early in the game, Aaron Ekblad was hit pretty hard by Alex Ovechkin.
He left the game at the end of the first period. Ben Chiarot did also leave the game as the Panthers were forced to play with 4 defensemen at the end of the first period.
