The Washington Capitals made it 57 beautiful, peaceful games into their season without demeaning themselves to visit the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n
The Flyers scored the only goal of the first period, Owen Tippett\u2019s after a keen pass from Travis Sanheim. Carl Grundstrum got a lucky bounce off Jakob Chychrun to make it 2-0, but a shorthanded effort from Aliaksei Protas brought the Caps within one goal with one period left to go.<\/p>\n
Anthony Beauvillier scrambled in front of the Flyers net to tie the game three minutes into the third. With five minutes left in regulation, Jamie Drysdale\u2019s shot from way out restored Philly\u2019s lead. Rasmus Ristolainen got the empty-netter. The Caps couldn\u2019t muster another comeback.<\/p>\n
Caps lose. Win streak over.<\/p>\n

More Info<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s demented that the Caps and Flyers hadn\u2019t played each other until February. I nearly forgot they existed from Halloween until Presidents\u2019 Day, and it was actually kind of pleasant. Mikko Rantanen (He\u2019s tied with McDavid.) Unlucky own-goal for Jakob Chychrun, but still not as bad as Tony DeAngelo\u2019s yesterday. Hard to imagine a more cringeworthy play by a Caps defen\u2013 waitaminute here comes JC74! With that assist and the goal of his own, Anthony Beauvillier had a monster game. It\u2019s just the second multi-point game of his season, which says a lot about the season. joe b has dark mode engaged like an rmnb patreon subscriber @joebsuitofthenight<\/p>\n \u2014 RMNB (@rmnb.bsky.social)<\/a> 2026-02-04T00:03:25.138Z<\/a><\/p>\n
\nRyan Leonard<\/a> drew a trip from Nicolas Deslauriers in the first period. That was the 24th penalty he has drawn during five-on-five play this season. A comprehensive list of the players who have drawn more, using the rarely seen nested recap bullets:<\/p>\n

\nMacklin Celebrini<\/p>\n
\nI whined so much about the Capitals not getting now-Flyer<\/a> Matvei Michkov in the 2023 draft. The guy they got instead was Leonard. He\u2019s better than Michkov, or at least he will be by next year.. One of the best things in hockey is when you\u2019re wrong but it\u2019s all good. (An even better thing is when you\u2019re right and it\u2019s all good.)
\nFrom the Ashford Meadow Tourney LLC out-of-town scoreboard, this person conducted the perfect social experiment to evaluate the Michkov-Tocchet schism. Read the reply.<\/p>\n
\nIn the second period, John Carlson held the puck behind the goal line, waiting for the right moment to start the breakout. Fans at \u201cXfinity Mobile Arena\u201d (\ud83e\udd2e) deemed Carlson had waited too long. When Carlson finally made his pass, that puck went promptly to a dude in orange.
\nAliaksei Protas is Washington\u2019s best penalty killer by a lot, but hadn\u2019t scored a shorthanded goal all season. This perfect drive up the ice with Anthony Beauvillier earned him his first and his club its second. They are no longer in a four-way tie for last place.<\/p>\n
\nMarty Fehervary took a spill alongside Trevor Zegras during a third-period penalty kill. Fehervary wasn\u2019t able to get back in position before Jamie Drysdale\u2019s shot hit the back of the net.
\nHere\u2019s Flyers goalie Dan Vladar\u2018s last ten games: LWWWLLLLLL. Naturally he was Dominik Ha\u0161ek out there on Tuesday. He got away with a brazen delay of game in the waning minutes.
\nSpencer Carbery made a bold move: playing call-up Clay Stevenson back-to-back after that win over the Isles.
\nI\u2019m not going to call him Mud. You could not pay me<\/a>.<\/p>\n
