CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Daniel Briere, Mike Richards and R.J. Umberger scored to help Philadelphia finally beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Friday night, even though Alex Ovechkin scored for the eighth consecutive game against the Flyers.

Ovechkin's goal, on a slap shot 3 seconds into a power play, cut Philadelphia's lead in half with a little more than 4 minutes left in the penalty- and fight-filled game, but Washington couldn't tie it.

Antero Niittymaki made 24 saves in his second start of the season for Philadelphia, which had not defeated Washington since February 2006. The Capitals earned the franchise's first sweep of the Flyers by winning all four games between the teams last season.

good game, great way to bounce back from last nites lost, Richards is the man goal fight and tons of heart, definitely the next in line to be captain someday

I missed alot of the game myself, only saw the third period.

The fight looked tremendous, though. Richards is a man on a mission so far. I like it.
