Carter Hart held down the two-goal lead for the final two periods, making 39 saves as the Flyers claimed a 3-1 win over the Capitals on Saturday night.

The home-and-home against the Capitals concludes on Saturday night, as the Flyers go for their seventh win in the last eight games.

The Flyers take the ice for the first time in the second half of the season to start a home-and-home against the Washington Capitals.

There was only one goal needed in the third period, as the Capitals grabbed the lead with 10:41 to play and held on from there in a 4-1 decision over the Flyers aided by two empty-net goals.

The Flyers have won two of four games on the current five-game homestand. The Capitals come to town for the final game of the homestand on Wednesday night.

Sonny Milano scored with 2:58 remaining in the third, setting up overtime where Alex Ovechkin won it with his 790th career goal in a 3-2 loss to the Capitals that sent the Flyers streak to eight games.

The Flyers are locked in a seven-game losing streak entering Wednesday's game. But it's been nearly as much of a struggle for the Capitals, who enter the game on a four-game losing streak of their own.

It was an ugly game for the Flyers, who trailed 3-1 after the first and lost Carter Hart and Cam Atkinson for the night before allowing six more goals over the final two periods in a 9-2 drubbing to the Washington Capitals.

Bobby Brink makes his NHL debut as the Flyers take on the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.

Just last Thursday, the Flyers had a 3-2 lead with under four minutes to play against the Washington Capitals, only to have it slip away in the final minutes of a 5-3 loss. The two teams meet again on Saturday afternoon.
