Jamie Drysdale scored a power-play goal with 5:23 remaining as the Philadelphia Flyers topped the visiting Washington Capitals 4-2 on Tuesday.
Dan Vladar (26 saves) authored a terrific performance to help Philadelphia snap a four-game losing streak. Owen Tippett, Carl Grundstrom and Rasmus Ristolainen also scored for the Flyers, while Travis Konecny picked up two assists.
Anthony Beauvillier notched a goal and an assist for Washington, which came in on a three-game winning streak. Aliaksei Protas also scored for the Capitals, while Clay Stevenson turned aside 18 shots.
With the game tied at 2-2 with under six minutes left, Trevor Zegras won a puck battle in the corner and sent a pass back to Drysdale near the blue line. Stevenson got a piece of Drysdale's blast, but the puck still found the back of the net.
Vladar made a key save on Alex Ovechkin with about 1:30 remaining to preserve the lead. Washington pressured a bit thereafter before Ristolainen clinched it with a long-distance empty-netter with 16.8 seconds to go.
The Flyers opened the scoring about six minutes into the game, following a nice passing sequence. Matvei Michkov made a cross-ice pass to the left point to Travis Sanheim, who promptly sent a diagonal feed to Tippett. The Philadelphia winger deked to his backhand and slipped one past Stevenson.
Both teams scored in the first half of the second period. Grundstrom made it 2-0 when his centering pass caromed off two Capitals players and into the net.
However, Washington responded with a short-handed goal less than four minutes later. Protas, playing in his 300th NHL game, rammed home his 19th of the season on a 2-on-1 feed from Beauvillier.
Beauvillier tied it early in the third period when he deposited a rebound past Vladar.
With just under seven minutes left, Washington nearly went ahead when Ovechkin's shot trickled off the glove of Vladar and just past the right post.
