Evgeny Kuznetsov scored two goals, Braden Holtby made 33 saves and Washington beat Philadelphia, 4-1, in National Hockey League action on Wednesday.

Philadelphia’s Jakub Voracek scored 23 seconds into the game, but Washington coach Barry Trotz challenged the goal. It was overturned because Dale Weise interfered with Holtby by pushing his shoulder.

“They started off better, but we got lucky there with the challenge,” Washington forward TJ Oshie said.

Brayden Schenn had the lone goal for the struggling Flyers, who are 2-5 in their last seven games. Michal Neuvirth stopped 25 shots for Philadelphia.

“It’s very frustrating,” Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. “We had a lot of opportunities. We have a big challenge ahead of us, but this team has not backed down from that.”

Nicklas Backstrom and Oshie also scored for the NHL leading Capitals, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

The Flyers are 2-5 in their last seven games.

Oilers 4, Panthers 3

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Kris Russell’s goal with 7:58 left was his first in more than a year and lifted Edmonton over Florida to snap the Panthers’ five-game winning streak.

Russell’s goal was his first since Feb. 11, 2016, when he played for Calgary. He went goalless in his first 48 games with the Oilers.

Fellow defenseman Oscar Klefbom also scored for Edmonton, as did forwards Zack Kassian and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Connor McDavid, who came into the night leading the NHL scoring race, had an assist on Russell’s goal.

Aleksander Barkov, Colton Sceviour and Jonathan Marchessault scored for Florida. Keith Yandle had two assists for the Panthers, giving him 400 points for his career.

Cam Talbot stopped 31 shots for the Oilers, who have won their last eight games at Florida — last losing on the Panthers’ ice in 2002. James Reimer made 31 saves for the Panthers, who just completed a 5-0-0 road trip.
