With Alex Ovechkin at home nursing an injury, the Capitals put together their best offensive effort of the season in a 7-0 rout of the Flyers on Friday night.

Joel Ward's third-period goal that made it 7-0 sparked a brawl. Just 9 seconds later, Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds fought Washington's Tom Wilson. Flyers goalie Ray Emery then took on Braden Holtby in another bout.
