Newcomer Dylan Strome scored twice as the Washington Capitals defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-1, in preseason action from the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night in South Philadelphia.
Kevin Hayes scored the lone goal for the Flyers, who dropped their second-straight game of the preseason in the process. Netminders Felix Sandstrom and Samuel Ersson were both solid between the pipes, but the Flyers’ lack of offense was again present in lighting the lamp just once as was the case last night against the Buffalo Sabres.
First period
Not much happening early on as both teams traded blows in the neutral zone, but Travis Sanheim got caught on a tripping call a little over four minutes in for an early penalty kill evaluation chance.
