The Capitals (32-33-6) defeated hapless Quebec 5-3 last night to draw to a fourth-place tie with New Jersey for the final playoff spot with 70 points. The Flyers (32-31-9) aren't much more comfortable, in third place with a three-point cushion that could evaporate with a loss. Ron Hextall pulled a groin muscle in Los Angeles on Tuesday so Ken Wregget is expected to carry the load down the stretch.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers have cast off their anti-Soviet past and welcomed 27-year-old winger Andrei Lomakin from Moscow Dynamo.For general manager Russ Farwell, Lomakin's participation in the Flyers' practice Thursday at the Coliseum in Voorhees Township, N.J., culminated nearly a year of delicate negotiations.For older members of the organization and many fans, the addition of Lomakin ended a long and sometimes bitter relationship between the Flyers and the Soviets.It was the Soviet Red Army team that walked off the Spectrum ice in the 1976 Super Series.
