NHL-Highlights from Wednesday's NHL games

March 30 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights from National Hockey League games on Wednesday: Flyers 2, Capitals 1 (SO) If Wednesday night is any indication, a potential playoff matchup between the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers will be awfully fun. Nick Cousins and Sam Gagner both scored in the shootout and the Flyers -- the league's worst shootout team since 2005 -- earned a 2-1 victory against the league's best team. Flyers goalie Steve Mason first stopped T.J. Oshie to open the shootout before robbing Evgeny Kuznetsov with his glove after Cousins' goal. That set up Gagner's winner, a wrist shot past Washington goalie Braden Holtby. The Capitals failed to convert on an overtime power play, opening the door for the Flyers to earn a crucial second point. Senators 2, Jets 1 Ottawa Senators right winger Alex Chiasson scored midway through the third period to lift his team to a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Left winger Ryan Dzingel passed the puck to the front of the net, and it bounced off Jets center Mark Scheifele's skate and went right to Chiasson, who beat goalie Michael Hutchinson at 8:51 for his eighth goal of the season. Scheifele had evened the score with his 26th goal of the season just over two minutes earlier. Right winger Blake Wheeler carried the puck into the Senators zone, slammed on the brakes and then found his linemate streaking to the net. Ottawa center Zach Smith scored his career-high 22nd goal of the season early in the first period. Ducks 8, Flames 3 Jakob Silfverberg scored two goals, Corey Perry added his 32nd goal and Ryan Kesler contributed a goal and three assists as Anaheim routed Calgary. Brandon Pirri, Jamie McGinn, Shea Theodore and Nate Thompson also scored for the Ducks, who used their third consecutive victory to move into first place in the Pacific Division by one point over the idle Los Angeles Kings. Hunter Shinkaruk, Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie scored for the Flames, who sustained their fifth loss in seven games.
