Flyers 7, Capitals 2

Washington: Sean Couturier scored twice, Claude Giroux recorded three points and Brian Elliott made 25 saves to help Philadelphia deny Alex Ovechkin a milestone and blow out Washington on Saturday.

Philadelphia limited Ovechkin to one shot on net and kept Washington’s captain stuck on 698 career goals. He’ll need at least one more game to become the eighth member of the NHL’s 700-goal club.

T.J. Oshie scored a first-period power-play goal, but that was the extent of the Capitals’ meaningful offensive output. Evgeny Kuznetsov also scored for Washington.

With assists on Couturier’s first goal, Travis Konecny’s 18th of the season and a late 5-on-3 power-play goal, the Flyers captain Giroux reached 800 points.
