Ovechkin, Capitals try to folow up improbable victory

Dec 16, 2006 - 4:32 PM Philadelphia (8-19-4) at Washington (14-10-7) 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Alexander Ovechkin is so good he can take a game over by himself in 36 seconds.

Ovechkin did just that on Friday, and leads the Washington Capitals against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

With Washington trailing, 2-1, late in the third period, Ovechkin tied the game at two with just 30 second left, and then won the game just six seconds into the overtime.

Ovechkin had three goals on the night and has 21 on the season. He trails Atlanta's Marian Hossa and the Rangers' Brendan Shanahan by one goal for the league lead.

The Flyers look to snap a five-game winless streak after getting torched by Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, 8-4, on Wednesday.

Ryan Potulny, Kyle Calder, Todd Fedoruk and Mike Knuble scored for the Flyers, who allowed three Pittsburgh power-play goals while going scoreless in their own three attempts.
