The Washington Capitals lost to the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 in their third game of the preseason. It was the first road preseason game for the Caps.

Aliaksei Protas opened the scoring, jamming home a shot from the slot into the upper portion of the cage. Protas was one of the more effective Caps skaters in the game.

The Flyers would get three in a row after that. A no-doubter from Claude Giroux on the power play, a scramble mess in front converted by Cam Atkinson, and a breakaway from Scott Laughton.

The Capitals and Flyers held a shootout after the game, which the Caps won via Ilya Samsonov saves and a Joe Snively winner. With the loss, the Capitals fell to 0-3 in the preseason.

Capitals lines

Kuzy handing out assists per usual.

Big Aliaksei Protas with a snipe from the slot on the power play. 1-0 Caps.

An immediate response from Claude Giroux on the Flyers own power play.

Nice double save from Sammy on a breakaway attempt.

Cam Atkinson gets his first in orange. 2-1 Philly.

Whatever this was happened. The refs were horrendous in the third period.

Just a big ole shrug here. 3-1.

The most nonchalant shootout of all time.
