The Philadelphia Flyers were in Washington, DC, on Friday night and came away with a 4-2 decision over the home team.
Joel Farabee had a goal for the Philadelphia Flyers
Wade Allison picked up two goals for the Flyers.
“We worked on that a little bit in practice,” Allison, said “Just bypassed their D, and it was a terrific pass. Couldn’t ask for much more than that.”
Brian Elliott made 28 saves in the win.
Daniel Sprong and TJ Oshie scored for Washington.
“These are big points for us that we let get by here, so there can’t be any excuses,” Washington head coach Peter Laviolette said. “I just thought we were on our heels too much. They had some good pace in the first period, and we were reacting to them. We were turning pucks over because we weren’t on our toes, we weren’t sharp.”
Joel Farabee opened the scoring for the Flyers.
“There’s no doubt that guys have been very positive and very good with the young players brought in here lately, and tonight I thought our whole group skated well,” Philadelphia head coach Alain Vigneault said. “I like the energy we brought to the table and I hope we can do the same thing tomorrow.”
Sean Couturier added an empty-net goal for the Flyers.
Vitek Vanecek made 25 saves in the loss.
“I think there were times in the game where we were the better team and there were times where we took our foot off the gas and they had their chances,” Sprong said.
