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

April 24 (The Sports Xchange) - A goal by Swedish center Nicklas Backstrom proved the difference as the Washington Capitals beat the Philadelphia Flyers 1-0 in Game Six on Sunday to clinch the series. 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. (Editing by Andrew Both)
