Red-hot Capitals seeking revenge vs. Flyers

Dec 20, 2008 - 1:52 PM Washington (20-10-3) at Philadelphia (17-8-6), 1:00 pm EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals have revenge on their mind.

The Capitals will also look for their sixth straight win Saturday when they face the Philadelphia Flyers, who eliminated Washington from the playoffs last season.

After overcoming a three-games-to-one deficit during the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the Capitals suffered a 3-2 loss in Game Seven when Joffrey Lupul scored a power-play goal 6:06 into overtime.

Washington, which made an improbable worst-to-first run last campaign, is off to a great start this season. The Capitals, who are coming off a 4-2 victory over the Blues on Thursday, are already starting to pull away in the Southeast Division.

Viktor Kozlov scored two goals and set up another Thursday for Washington, which has won seven of its last eight contests.

The Montreal Canadiens, who were eliminated by the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, received a measure of revenge Thursday. Arron Asham had a goal and assist, but Philadelphia had its five-game winning streak snapped with a 5-2 loss.

After hosting the Capitals, the Flyers will play seven of their next eight contests on the road.
