Flyers host Capitals in key Metropolitan clash

Alex Ovechkin did not score in the last two games for the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers are hoping to keep him off the scoresheet.

The Flyers are also hoping to keep the rest of the Capitals from scoring goals in bunches.

If host Philadelphia can do so Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center, it can inch closer to the first-place Capitals in the Metropolitan Division.

Washington (41-23-7) leads the division with 89 points. The Capitals are two points ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and four ahead of Philadelphia (36-25-11) and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
