PHILADELPHIA -- A three-goal cushion was much easier for the Philadelphia Flyers to protect the second time around. Jakub Voracek scored two goals and the Flyers beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 Tuesday night for their seventh consecutive win at home. Two days after blowing a 4-1 third-period lead at Washington in a 5-4 shootout loss, the Flyers held this lead against the high-powered Capitals. "Up three, the guys talked about it and we couldnt let that happen again," said Matt Read, who had one of the five goals. "We took it as a 0-0 game, kept them on their heels. We had to do the simple things, the smart things." Mark Streit and Wayne Simmonds also had goals for the Flyers. Alex Ovechkin and Eric Fehr scored for Washington. "Its always hard to come back, especially in this building," Ovechkin said. "They got the lead with two goals and they just played safe. We had our chances but we didnt score." Steve Mason made 24 saves for Philadelphia, which evened its record at 15-15-4. The Flyers are 12-6-4 since an embarrassing 7-0 loss at home to the Capitals on Nov. 1. Theyll try to go over .500 for the first time this season Thursday night when they host Columbus. Down 2-1, the Flyers stormed back with three straight goals, including a pair on the same power play in the second period. First, Read scored his team-high 10th goal on a wrister to tie it at 2. Then Washingtons Tom Wilson received a 5-minute major and ejection for charging. Wilson sent Brayden Schenn crashing headfirst into the boards with a hit from behind. Schenn sustained an upper-body injury and didnt return, but the Flyers made the most of their 5-minute man advantage. Streit fired a one-timer from the left point past goalie Braden Holtby to make it 3-2. Voracek then slid one inside the near post 72 seconds later for a 4-2 lead. "Anytime you get a 5-minute power play, you have to make sure you get at least one," Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. Capitals coach Adam Oates was not pleased with the call on Wilson. "Its a game-changing call which, which they call the way they think they see it," Oates said. "I cant do anything about it. Im also mad they dont get an instigator after that, because every single time we have one of our guys hit and a guy goes across its an automatic instigator to neutralize the play." Simmonds extended the lead to 5-2 in the third period. "We executed our game plan," he said. After a scoreless first period, Ovechkin got the scoring started 40 seconds into the second on a power play. Nicklas Backstroms pass from the far side of the net bounced off defenceman Nicklas Grossmanns skate, trickled away from Mason and went to Ovechkin, who backhanded it in for his NHL-best 28th goal. The Flyers answered 58 seconds later when Voracek took a pass from Braydon Coburn and skated in with Giroux on a 2-on-1 break. Voracek kept the puck and fired a wrister that beat Holtby to the stick side. "I surprised myself because I never shoot," Voracek said. "I always pass. Ive been that way since I was a kid." Fehr gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead in the second period when he scored on a one-timer off a perfect centring pass from behind the net by Troy Brouwer.

Hales fell narrowly short of a maiden ton for the third time in the series having been dismissed for 86 his sides innings and 88-run win at Headingley and 83 in their nine-wicket victory at Emirates Riverside in Durham.But the openers fourth Test half-century and Alastair Cooks 49 not out from an unfamiliar No 7 spot led to England declaring on 233-7 with a lead of 361 after rain had washed out the entire morning session.Dimuth Karunaratne (19no) and Kaushal Silva (12no) negotiated a potentially tricky 12 overs, though, as Sri Lanka closed on 32-0 and with further showers forecast for Monday, England could struggle to complete their fourth whitewash since 1978, having thumped India 4-0 in 2011 and crushed New Zealand 3-0 and West Indies 4-0 in 2004. Alex Hales was unable to complete his maiden Test ton The Lords drizzle, however, gave Cook extra time to rest the knee he bruised while fielding at silly mid-off on day three and the England skipper displayed no signs of discomfort when he joined Hales at the crease following the early-afternoon lbw exit of night-watchman Steve Finn (7).Cooks only trouble came against spinner Rangana Herath, the left-hander successfully reviewing one lbw decision with the ball striking him outside the line but then fortunate that opposing captain Angelo Mathews opted not to go upstairs with Heraths delivery set to turn back onto his stumps.Hales also enjoyed a slice of luck when Nuwan Pradeep (3-37) was adjudged to have bowled him with a no ball, despite replays showing the Sri Lanka paceman - who castled Joe RRoot, James Vince and Jonny Bairstow on day three - had kept a part of his foot behind the line.dddddddddddd Nuwan Pradeep was harshly adjudged to have bowled a no ball The Nottinghamshire star built on his overnight 41 with a host of sweet strokes, including smoking Herath for six over long-on, as he bossed an 82-run stand with regular opening partner Cook.But, with tea approaching, Hales was given out lbw to Mathews after being clattered above the knee roll, ball-tracking technology showing Hales leg stump would have been shaved. Alastair Cook unleased a scoop shot at Lords Cook and Moeen Ali (9) darted in and out of the dressing room after tea as rain fell in a start-stop manner and the cricket was just as frenetic in the moments before England declared - Moeen pouched in the deep off Shaminda Eranga (3-58), and Cook spanking a maximum over midwicket and attempting a Jos Buttler-esque scoop. Karunaratne and Silva, though, calmed things down during the final overs to keep Sri Lanka in with a chance, however faint, of launching a successful run chase an on intriguing-looking Monday in the capital.Our build-up to day five starts at 10.30am on Monday on Sky Sports 2, while you can also follow the days play on skysports.com and Sky Sports apps via our rolling over-by-over blog.Highlights of day three come your way from 8pm tonight on Sky Sports 2 and then stick around at 9pm for The Verdict with Charles Colvile, Bob Willis, Jonathan Trott and Russel Arnold.
