Recap: Flyers 4, Caps 1

A flat performance in Philadelphia dooms the Caps to yet another road loss at the hands of the Flyers.

Third Period Thread

Two more goals-against and that would be all she wrote for Braden Holtby... but welcome to the game (and the NHL), Philipp Grubauer! Third period ahead.

Second Period Thread

Two quick goals in the opening 4:04 have given the Flyers an early advantage... but this one's far from over. Second period ahead.

Tonight's Lines: Sticking With What Worked

Tonight's lines and defensive pairings are the same as what worked last night against Carolina, from Braden Holtby on out:

Jason Chimera - Mike Ribeiro - Alex Ovechkin

Eric Fehr - Nicklas Backstrom - Troy Brouwer

Wojtek Wolski - Mathieu Perreault - Joel Ward

Matt Hendricks - Jay Beagle - Joey Crabb

Karl Alzner - Mike Green

John Erskine - John Carlson

Tom Poti - Tomas Kundratek

That leaves Jeff Schultz, Roman Hamrlik and recently recalled Casey Wellman as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich, Jack Hillen and Marcus Johansson (who was retroactively placed on injured reserve today) out with injuries. Oh, and Philipp Grubauer is backing up Holtby with Michal Neuvirth sick and unable to wear the baseball cap tonight.

The Caps look to keep rolling as they head to Philadelphia for a date with the Flyers.
