PHILADELPHIA — – Jamie Drysdale<\/a> scored on the power play to snap a 20-game streak without a goal, Dan Vladar<\/a> made 26 saves, and the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Washington Capitals<\/a> 4-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Drysdale one-timed a pass from Trevor Zegras<\/a> past Washington goalie Clay Stevenson<\/a> to put the Flyers ahead to stay, 3-2.<\/p>\n

Vladar kept the Flyers game, especially in the first period, stopping all 11 shots Washington fired at him in a period that was spent predominantly in the Flyers end.<\/p>\n

He stopped a pair of one-timers by Alex Ovechkin<\/a> from the high slot in the third period to keep the Flyers ahead. Ovechkin was trying to tie Sidney Crosby<\/a>‘s record of 29 goals, most by a Philadelphia opponent in the 30-year history of Xfinity Mobile arena.<\/p>\n

Owen Tippett<\/a> gave the Flyers an early lead when he took a cross-ice pass from defenseman Travis Sanheim<\/a> and made a deft forehand-to-backhand move to slide it past Stevenson, who had 18 saves.<\/p>\n

Carl Grundstrom, who was a healthy scratch the previous two games, returned to the lineup and snapped a 13-game scoring drought when his shot caromed of the skate of Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun<\/a> to give the Flyers a two-goal lead in the second period.<\/p>\n

Travis Konency had a pair of assists, marking his fourth straight multipoint game and his 15th this season.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Ristolainen<\/a> added an empty-net goal for his first of the season for Philadelphia. He also assisted on Grundstrom’s goal.<\/p>\n

Anthony Beauvillier<\/a> had a goal and an assist and Aliaksei Protas<\/a> scored a short-handed goal for Washington, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.<\/p>\n
