The Washington Capitals took down the Philadelphia Flyers yesterday afternoon by a score of 3-1 and clinched the season series sweep. That’s unimportant in the grand scheme of the season, but it always feels good to beat Philly.
The Flyers out-shot the Caps 36 to 30.

Jakub Vrana is only in his second full season in the NHL, but he’s becoming a fan favorite and a dominant player.
The Czech forward scored Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers, tallying his 22nd goal on the season. It’s nine more than his previous career high of 13 set last season.
The Washington Capitals struggled to mount much offense against the Philadelphia Flyers Sunday, but two deflection goals, a Jakub Vrana breakaway, and a Herculean effort by Braden Holtby were enough to net the Caps the victory.
Tom Wilson’s 22nd goal of the season started the Capitals’ scoring 3:52 into the first period. It helped deflate the Flyers, who were fighting for their playoff lives.

The Washington Capitals continued this stretch of games on home ice with their final meeting of the season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The division race is ever tightening so all available points are needed.
Tom Wilson put a nifty deflection of a Nick Jensen wrist shot past Brian Elliot to open scoring. Travis Boyd added a deflection goal of his own before Jakub Voracek cut that lead in half on a Flyers power play. The superior Jakub restored said lead on a breakaway.
Caps beat Flyers 3-1!

Good morning, pals. The season’s winding down to a close, but we’re not quite there yet. Game 76 on the calendar brings the Philadelphia Flyers to town one last time. It’s a Sunday matinee game and the Flyers played yesterday, so who knows what will happen.
Puck drops at 12:30 PM. Put the My Teams app on your phone or whatever to stream it. Good boy Chris has recap duty and promises not to discuss college basketball.
