Andrej Meszaros’ Overtime Goal Gives Flyers 3-2 Win Over Capitals

The Flyers may have the 1-0 lead after one period, but the Capitals were able to control the play for most of the first 20 minutes. Until a late power play seemed to shift things a bit, Philadelphia was only able to sustain short rushes in the offensive direction. In terms of setting up the play in the Capitals end, chances have been relatively short and unimpressive for the home team.

On the other hand, the Caps have been able to set up in the Flyers end for sustained amounts of time. They have a actually trail eight to six in the shot department, but possession time is greatly tilted in their favor thus far. One of the major reasons they’ve been kept off the board thus far, however, are the Philly defensemen.
