The third was all effort, but the Flyers couldn’t pull out a miracle finish as Washington edged Philadelphia 3-2 Thursday night.

After a tedious, trying 4-1 loss to the Caps at home Tuesday, the Flyers sleepwalked through the opening period, went down by four and then brought the fight to the Capitals. But the comeback was still a pointless result, leaving the Flyers with six losses in a row.
