Philadelphia Flyers 2 – 5 Washington Capitals
Post-Game Recap
The Washington Capitals took down the Philadelphia Flyers tonight by a final of five to two, and it wasn't particularly close once the third period arrived. Philadelphia actually drew first blood just two minutes forty-two seconds in, Jack Studnicka finishing off a setup from Cole Knuble and Jett Luchanko to put the Flyers up early. Washington answered quickly though — Aliaksei Protas tied it before the midpoint of the first, and then Ryan Leonard struck with less than a minute left in the period to give the Capitals the lead heading into the locker room. Philadelphia clawed back to even it at two goals apiece in the second on a Cole Knuble goal, and for a moment it felt like a genuine contest. But Dylan Strome broke that tie late in the second, and from there Washington took complete control. Jonny Brodzinski put the game away with two goals in the third — one at one fifty-seven, another at nine forty-five — and that was simply that. Brodzinski finishes with two goals on the night as the clear difference-maker, while defenseman Ryan Chesley was everywhere, racking up three assists and three points to drive Washington's offense from the back end. For Philadelphia, Knuble's two-point night was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult evening. In the end, Washington was the sharper team when it mattered most, and it showed on the scoreboard.
