Daily News | Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals clobber the Flyers, 9-2
WASHINGTON — Just when it seemed like the visiting Flyers were showing signs of life in their eventual 9-2 loss to the Washington Capitals, the hosts drove the dagger in deeper Tuesday night.
The Capitals scored at will all night long, with eight skaters finding the back of the net. Eller led the way with two goals. Washington’s nine goals marked the most scored against the Flyers this season. James van Riemsdyk scored both of the Flyers’ goals, marking his eighth and ninth in his last 20 games.
In his 700th career game, Atkinson took a hard hit along the boards from Wilson in the first period. Wilson was called for boarding and likely contributed to the end of Atkinson’s night.Through the first three games of the season between the Flyers and the Capitals, star winger Alex Ovechkin didn’t register a point and was minus-3. However, early in the first period of the team’s fourth meeting this season on Tuesday, Ovechkin put the Capitals on the board first.
