Ovechkin reaches 30 goals again as Capitals beat Flyers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin became the third player in NHL history to reach 30 goals in his first 11 seasons, and Braden Holtby made 33 saves as the Washington Capitals beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in their traditional Super Bowl Sunday matchup. Holtby was stellar in net, especially on the penalty kill, as he improved to 3-0-0 in the second half of back-to-back starts this season. Mason stopped 27 of the 30 shots he faced as Philadelphia missed a major opportunity to pick up points in a competitive Eastern Conference playoff race. Two memorable saves on the Flyers' Nick Cousins drew chants of "Holtby, Holtby" from the crowd for the goaltender who's on pace to break Martin Brodeur's season wins record.
