David Booth had two goals and three assists to lift the Florida Panthers to a 7-4 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Steve Eminger and Michael Frolik scored in an 8-second span to break a 4-4 tie in the third period. Nick Tarnasky added an empty-netter with 9 seconds remaining.
