Washington finally sees a notch in the win column against the Flyers. A 3 goal start with no specialty teams is not what Khabibulin wanted to open the game. On the flip side, the Capitals couldn't have scripted it better, even taking advantage of a Murphy interference penalty in the 2nd frame. Washington dominated the game from start to finish, held the Flyers to just 21 shots in the game, and Bob Sweeney skated the team to another 5 point effort with his 4 goal performance. If they can swing the series back, Sweeney is making a case for the Conn Smythe.

Chicago came out throwing everything and the kitchen sink in the first period, and then buckled down defensively for the final 40. Chicago only managed 4 shots for the rest of the game, but they also managed to shut down the Blues for 8.
