"The Capitals only managed 24 total five-on-five shot attempts in this game, their second-worst single-game total of the season, bested only by a 21-attempt outing against the Florida Panthers on December 29."
"Alex Ovechkin scored twice to give him seven goals in his last seven games. The first of his two goals was his 30th of the season, hitting the 30-goal mark for the 20th time in his legendary career."
"After two goals on three attempts against the Flyers, they are now operating at 28.9 percent in the month of March. Would have been nice to see any of that before they dug themselves such a deep hole in the hunt for a playoff spot."
The Washington Capitals achieved a 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, marking a significant win in their playoff pursuit. Despite only 24 five-on-five shot attempts, the Capitals benefited from improved power play efficiency, scoring two goals on three attempts. Alex Ovechkin reached his 30th goal of the season, becoming one of four players to score 30 goals at age 40 or older.
