Storr, the backup to Kevin minutes earlier had tied the game at 2. Kovalchuk had just been stopped on a three-on-one break, when the Devils then counterattacked. Kovalchuk eventually got the puck along the side boards, but he made an ill advised pass across the middle of his own zone. Friesen read the play. "I just went to the lane where I saw he was trying to throw it," Friesen said. "Obviously, you're a little sur prised. It just came right on my stick. It was a big goal because this is a big win for the team." It was a big disappointment for Kovalchuk. "I can't give chances like this," Kovalchuk said. "If I want to be a leader on this team I have to play smarter."
Flyers 4, Capitals 1 Mark Recchi and John LeClair took full advantage of the short-handed Washington Capitals. Recchi and LeClair each had a goal and three assists in leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a victory. "What, are you surprised that we played a good game?" LeClair asked. "I think we're all feeling pretty comfortable. It's a good mix and it definitely worked well for us tonight." Michal Handzus and Kim Johnsson also scored to help the Flyers win for the fifth time in their last six games. Washington played with just five defensemen.

Recchi opened the scoring at 5:30 of the first period, beat ing goalie Rastislav Stana with a wrist shot after LeClair's strong play to keep the puck in offensive zone.
