Philadelphia Flies Past Washington
The Washington Capitals continued to struggle holding leads as the Philadelphia Flyers escaped with a 4-3 victory on Day 68. The loss drops Washington to 12-17-3 for the season.
The Caps got off to a great start in the first period with two goal in the first 8:23. Zigmund Palffy got the first from Patrick Marleau and Rob Blake at 4:34. Greg Watson then made it 2-0 when he converted from Todd Warriner and Frantisek Lukes.
Washington's solid play continued in the second period. Philadelphia pulled a goal back through Berg from White and Savage at 10:31, but Jonathan Cheechoo made it 3-1 when he scored from Blake and Palffy at 18:21.
Leading 3-1 after 50 minutes, Washington looked to be in control of the game, but the Flyers scored three times in the final 5:31 to come away with an improbable victory. Kalinin started the rally with his fifth goal of the campaign from Savage and White at 14:29. Hatcher then tied the game when he scored from Kalinin at 16:41, and Brind'Amour completed the win with a goal from Schutte and Kalinin at 19:23.
Manny Legace stopped 23 shots to take the loss for Washington. Felix Potvin was cat-like with his 28 saves in the win for the Flyers.
The Capitals will try to get back to winning ways on Day 70 against the Boston Bruins.
