WASHINGTON (AP) — Roberto Luongo doesn’t want to think about the long climb the Florida Panthers would have to make get to the playoffs.Each victory gets them a little closer Derek Grant Jersey Womens , and they’ve won two in a row and six of their past eight games after beating the Washington Capitals 5-4 in overtime Saturday. Luongo made 26 saves and Mike Hoffman scored the winning goal on the power play to move Florida nine points back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.“Sometimes when you look at the big picture, it can get a little bit overwhelming and you want to stay focused on the task at hand,” Luongo said after becoming just the third goaltender in NHL history to start 1,000 regular-season games. “Obviously we’ve got to win a lot of games. But I’ve always been the type of person that doesn’t like to look at the big picture that much. Big win tonight.”Hoffman’s goal came 1:31 into overtime with Brett Connolly in the penalty box for slashing with 3.6 seconds left in the third period. The Panthers bounced back from allowing the tying goal to Evgeny Kuznetsov with 3:06 remaining to win in overtime for the second consecutive game.Frank Vatrano, Keith Yandle, Colton Sceviour and Derick Brassard scored in regulation for Florida, which is back on the fringe of the race in the East thanks to its recent run. The Panthers still have three teams between them and a playoff position in the conference and might need 12 out of 14 points on their upcoming homestand to stay in it ahead of the Feb. 25 trade deadline.“We’ve got to play well,” said Yandle, who set up Hoffman’s 4-on-3 power play goal. “We know going forward there’s not a lot of room for error, and we’ve got to play well every night.”The power play that is tops in the NHL since Nov. 1 delivered on a goal one second after T.J. Oshie’s penalty expired in the first period and then again in overtime. Coach Bob Boughner called the power play his team’s “backbone” all season.The defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals continued to lack discipline and lead the NHL with 199 minor penalties this season. Connolly scored twice, but his offensive-zone slash on Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov with the clock running out contributed to Washington’s winning streak being snapped at two.“I can’t take that penalty Erik Karlsson Jersey Womens ,” Connolly said. “It’s tough. It’s an important time of the game.”Lars Eller also scored for Washington, and Kuznetsov’s goal was his fourth in five games. Braden Holtby 26 saves and fell victim to some bad bounces, deflections and miscues on the goals he allowed.Luongo picked up his first victory in Washington since 2011 and moved to within one of tying Ed Belfour for third on the NHL’s all-time list. Luongo joined Hall of Famers Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy as the only goaltenders with 1,000 career starts and tied Roy for second in all-time games played with 1,029.The 39-year-old said he didn’t know until about an hour before the game about the milestone.“Sure, it’s a lot of games,” Luongo said. “We’re just playing to win games, trying to get back in the playoff race. That’s our goal, and that’s my goal personally is, I want to take part in the playoffs again. They’re nice when they come and go, but it’s not really something I keep tabs on that much.”Luongo and the Panthers will keep tabs on the standings as they hope to replicate the 25-8-2 run that got them close to a playoff spot last season. With 29 games to go Patrick Maroon Jersey Womens , Florida is still building to that point.“I think we’ve just got a bit of our swagger back,” Luongo said. “We believe in ourselves and the way we’re playing. We’ve been finding different ways to win. We’re getting a little bit of that momentum going like we did last year. It’s just a matter of you’ve got to keep plugging away night after night here.”NOTES: Capitals D Christian Djoos returned after missing 24 games with compartment syndrome in his left leg. … With Djoos back, the Capitals were fully healthy for the first time this season in their 55th game. … RW Devante Smith-Pelly was a healthy scratch for Washington. … Panthers D MacKenzie Weegar missed his second consecutive game with an illness.UP NEXTPanthers: Open a seven-game homestand Sunday against the NHL-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.Capitals: Wrap up a six-game homestand Monday against the Los Angeles Kings. TAMPA, Fla. — NHL-leading Tampa Bay looks to pick up where it left off before the holiday break when the Lightning host the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.Tampa Bay is riding a 12-game streak with at least a point, posting an 11-0-1 record, the third longest stretch of games without a regulation loss in franchise history. The Lightning have not dropped a game since a 3-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Nov. 27.But don’t expect a team with the type of Stanley Cup aspirations the Lightning have to start looking too far down the road, even after capping an impressive 3-0-1 road trip through western Canada in the previous four games before the team had four days off over Christmas.Article continues below ...“I think we can go into the break feeling good about how we played this start of the season,” defenseman Anton Stralman said after Saturday’s victory in Edmonton. “But we’re only halfway. It’s nice to get the break.“It’s been a tough schedule. A lot of the boys need a little rest and to heal up a little bit. I think it’s going to be great to get some time off and be ready to go again on the 27th.”Captain Steven Stamkos is leading the way offensively with 13 goals in the past 12 games and has reached 20 goals for the 10th time in his career. Nikita Kucherov jumped to second in league scoring with 57 points.But it’s the other end of the ice the Lightning are looking to shore up as they eye the second half of the schedule. Tampa Bay enters Thursday sitting 13th in the league in goals allowed at 2.86 per game.“We were probably outscoring teams and we needed to get back to what was actually getting us here and why we’ve had such a good start,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.The Flyers also hope the break didn’t take away some of the momentum gained before the break as Philadelphia has won three of the past four games since new interim coach Scott Gordon took the reins behind the bench from Dave Hakstol.In the four games under Gordon, the Flyers have allowed just nine goals, well below the season average of 3.6 goals allowed per game.“It was a tough week for everybody Tyler Bozak Jersey Womens ,” Gordon told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Not just physically, but mentally.“And to come in, new coach, new goaltender, the whole routine was thrown out of whack — whether it was the pregame skate or anything we touched on system-wise, or different drills at practice. And yet they responded with six points out of eight and were very close to having eight for eight. That obviously is encouraging as a coach to get that kind of attitude and that kind of effort.”The change, along with the call-up of top goaltender prospect Carter Hart — who won two of his three starts — has allowed the Flyers hit the reset button in many aspects.“I think a lot of guys got their confidence back and we’re rolling now, so it feels good,”‘ second-year center Nolan Patrick told The Inquirer. “The last couple games, we’ve really played a team game and we’ve played fast.”
