Capitals try to obtain back-to-back wins in Philadelphia

Dec 9, 2006 - 5:27 PM Washington (12-10-6) at Philadelphia (8-16-4) 7:00 pm EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Washington Capitals go for their second straight win in Philadelphia for the first time in nearly 13 years when they face the Flyers on Saturday.

The Capitals have not won posted back-to-back victories here since January 29 and February 2, 1994. But now they are right on the doorstep after winning here, 5-3, November 4.

Helping the Capitals' cause is the fact that the Flyers are just 3-7-4 at the Wachovia Center this season.

After a 6-1 loss to Anaheim on Friday, Washington had its season-best four-game winning streak ended. Alexander Semin netted his 12th goal of the campaign while Olaf Kolzig denied 28 shots for the Capitals, which went just 1-for-8 on the power play.

Philadelphia absorbed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of New Jersey on Friday. Antero Niittymaki made 22 saves for the Flyers, who failed to convert on seven chances with the man advantage.

These two teams also meet in Washington a week from today.
