After a tedious, trying 4-1 loss to the Caps at home Tuesday, the Flyers sleepwalked through the opening period, went down by four and then brought the fight to the Capitals. But the comeback was still a pointless result, leaving the Flyers with six losses in a row.

First period: 4:50 — Taylor Raddysh (Dylan McIlrath, Rasmus Sandin)
Second period: 2:49 — Nic Dowd (Rasmus Sandin), 4:04 — Connor McMichael (Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dylan McIlrath), 7:16 — Connor McMichael (Trevor van Riemsdyk, Pierre-Luc Dubois), 12:04 — Travis Konecny (Matvei Michkov, Jamie Drysdale) (PPG), 16:16 — Owen Tippett (Tyson Foerster, Egor Zamula)
