Can't win hockey games if you can't score goals: Flyers beat Capitals 4-1

"Ryan Leonard gave them that lead with a sick snipe on the power play, his 13th goal of the season. Leonard is now riding a four-game point streak (3g, 1a) and has goals in back-to-back games. He now has 34 points (13g, 21a) in 59 games this season, while Matvei Michkov has 33 points (16g, 17a) in 63 games for the Flyers."

"Pretty even first period at five-on-five, but there was a whole lot of special teams time that broke up any flow in the game. I think the Capitals started the game stronger, but then all of the penalties muddied the waters, and they let the Flyers finish the period a little stronger."

"Timothy Liljegren made his Capitals debut and almost immediately went to the penalty box in the first period. Outside of that, I thought he looked really solid. I would really like to see him reunited with Rasmus Sandin, as that pairing was ace for the Toronto Maple Leafs."

The Washington Capitals traveled to Philadelphia for a crucial playoff-positioning game against the Flyers. Ryan Leonard gave the Capitals a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal in the first period, extending his point streak to four games. However, the Flyers dominated the remainder of the game, with Travis Konecny tying the score in the second period. Trevor Zegras put Philadelphia ahead, followed by Jamie Drysdale extending the lead on a four-on-four goal in the third period. Owen Tippett sealed the victory with an empty-net goal. Timothy Liljegren made his Capitals debut but struggled with early penalties. The Flyers' special teams and bounces proved decisive in the loss.
