Washington's Aliaksei Protas (3:18) and Philadelphia's Claude Giroux (5:41) each scored a power-play goal in the first period. Martin Jones made 21 saves for the Flyers, and Ilya Samsonov made 28 for the Capitals. The final 2:54 of the second period was played after the intermission following a power outage in the arena.
