The Washington Capitals streak of division title has ended at five but at least they got revenge on the Philadelphia Flyers, stunning them on a late goal and winning it in overtime.

The first period was scoreless but not without fireworks. Tom Wilson was in a accidental on leg collision with Nicholas Aube-Kubel of the Flyers. Wilson fell on the ice to the delight of haters but to the dismay of them was right back in the game in the second period. The Caps outshot the Flyers 13-8.
