Another game, another loss for the Philadelphia Flyers, as they were stymied offensively and fell to the Washington Capitals as a result by a score of 5-2.
Tonight, the theory that the Philadelphia Flyers save their best games for top competition took a serious hit.
Facing the Metropolitan Division's best team accounting for both record and underlying statistics, the Flyers were thoroughly outplayed and fell by a score of 5-2. Philadelphia was able to generate only 20 shots, while Washington peppered goalie Steve Mason with 32 of their own.
The game started out promising.
