Capitals' Alex Ovechkin scores overtime winner to hand Flyers a 3-2 loss, their eighth straight

WASHINGTON — The Flyers maintained a 2-1 lead over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night at CapitalOne Arena with roughly three minutes remaining in the third period and were on the cusp of snapping their seven-game losing streak.

However, Capitals winger Sonny Milano had other plans.

He scored backdoor off the rush to tie the game, 2-2, paving the way to overtime. Ultimately, longtime Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scored roughly one minute into overtime, handing the Flyers a 3-2 loss with his 790th career goal.
