Flyers blank Caps as Neuvirth makes 44 saves

WASHINGTON - Jay Snider was right: The Flyers aren't done.

Speaking Thursday at an emotional ceremony honoring his late father and Flyers chairman Ed Snider, Snider issued that warning to the heavily favored Washington Capitals.

The Flyers backed up his words. Somehow.

Getting sensational goaltending from Michal Neuvirth, the Flyers staved off elimination Friday night for the second straight game, defeating Washington, 2-0, before a stunned Verizon Center crowd.

Washington dominated the game as it outshot the Flyers, 44-11. It was the lowest shot total for the Flyers in their playoff history. Their previous low: 13 in Game 6 of the 2000 Eastern Conference finals against New Jersey.
