"The Flyers were putting the pressure on the Caps as soon as their man-advantage started. Clay Stevenson made a save on a Bobby Brink wrist shot from above the left circle, and then Konecny just missed his chance off the rebound down in front. Trevor Zegras corralled the puck down in the corner and found Drysdale just below the blueline, and Drysdale one-timed it through traffic, over Stevenson's glove, and into the net."
"Let's unpack that Flyers' PPG... The Flyers went on the power play after Justin Sourdif was sent to the box for hooking Travis Konecny. This penalty kill was crucial for Washington-they had the momentum, and best-case scenario would have been building even more momentum with a successful PK that led them down to the other end of the ice to take the lead."
The Philadelphia Flyers built a two-goal lead within the first 25 minutes, putting the Washington Capitals on the defensive. The Capitals rallied and tied the score 2:40 into the third period, creating momentum for a potential comeback. A late hooking penalty by Justin Sourdif gave the Flyers a power play with 5:23 remaining. Trevor Zegras retrieved the puck in the corner and fed Jamie Drysdale at the blueline, and Drysdale one-timed the puck through traffic past Clay Stevenson to restore Philadelphia's lead. The Flyers' successful power play extinguished Washington's momentum, and Washington's special teams ultimately cost them the win.
