Capitals beat Flyers in Game Six to win series 4-2

Washington goalie Braden Holtby stopped all 26 shots the Flyers threw his way, including 11 in the third period, and the Capitals escaped Wells Fargo Center with a 4-2 series win after finally getting a puck past Philadelphia goalie Michal Neuvirth.

Washington moves on to the second round, where the Pittsburgh Penguins await.

The Capitals finally solved Neuvirth 8:59 into the second period.

Alex Ovechkin made a strong play to keep the puck in the offensive zone. The Capitals captain moved the puck to the slot to Marcus Johansson as Backstrom camped out and readied a one-timer on the right wing. Johansson wasted no time and fed Backstrom for a 1-0 Washington lead, which proved to be the difference in the end.
