The Philadelphia Flyers visited the first-place Washington Capitals on Tuesday night at Capital One Arena in the fifth of eight scheduled meetings this season. The Flyers decided that tonight’s game was the perfect time to get their weekly blowout loss in and were subsequently steamrolled 6-1 by the Capitals.
The game started out with a small barrage of Washington shots and good pressure from the Capitals, but Brian Elliott was good very early on to keep the game scoreless.
