The Washington Capitals came into Sunday afternoon’s action looking to halt their first losing streak of the season at just two games. Unfortunately, they weren’t successful in that plight and dropped a 7-4 decision to the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Caps outshot the Flyers 37 to 23 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 55 to 50.
