Capitals defeat Flyers, go to Game 7
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Alex Oveechkin took a perfect lead pass from Viktor Kozlov, split two defensemen at center ice and broke free.
There was nothing goaltender Martin Biron or any of the Flyered-up, orange-clad fans who taunted Ovechkin throughout the series could do to stop "Alexander the Great."
third period to lift the Capitals to a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night and sent the series back to Washington for Game 7.
With the season on the line for the Washington Capitals, Ovechkin delivered. He scored twice in the
"It's Hollywood here and the script said he wins the game," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said.
In Monday's other NHL playoff game, Montreal defeated Boston 5-0 to take the series in seven games.
Now the Capitals have a chance to become the 21st team in league history to come back from a 3-1 deficit and win a best-of-seven series. They've won a Game 7 only once before, beating the Flyers on an overtime goal by Dale Hunter 20 years ago.

thing."
Ovechkin, who scored 65 goals in the regular season, hadn't put one past Biron since Game 1. Everywhere he went on the ice, the Flyers surrounded him.

Finally, he was alone.
That 2-0 lead the Flyers once had was history.
Following a flurry of shots by the Flyers, Kozlov got the puck in Washington's zone and fired a pass up ice. The speedy Ovechkin took it in stride, skated between Lasse Kukkonen and Braydon Coburn and beat Biron to give the Caps a 3-2 lead 2:46 into the third period.
"I don't have lots of chances to go, so I just kind of shot it." Ovechkin said. "I think of what I have to do and I just do my own
A delirious Ovechkin pumped his arms and leaped into the bench to celebrate with his teammates while the sellout crowd fell silent.
Eight minutes later, Ovechkin ripped a one-timer past Biron to give the Caps a two-goal cushion and completely quiet the raucous fans.
"Great players find a way and Alex did it tonight," Capitals center Brooks Laich said. "With Alex, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when."
The Capitals need Ovechkin at his best again Tuesday night. Despite winning two straight to even the series, they're not relying on the home-ice advantage and taking the Flyers lightly.
"We've won nothing and we know how resilient they are," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "They had the toughest schedule down the stretch and seemed to win every time."
Washington will play Pittsburgh with a series win. The Flyers would get top-seeded Montreal.
"There is still another chance," said Flyers center Danny Brier, who scored his sixth goal of the series to put Philly ahead 2-0 in the second period. "We have to forget what happened and leave it all on the ice over there. We know we can win there. That is all we have to think about."
