The Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers meet Saturday in NHL action at the Wells Fargo Center. The Washington Capitals look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Philadelphia Flyers look to snap a six-game losing streak.

The Washington Capitals are averaging 3.2 goals per game and are scoring on 16.1 percent of their power play opportunities. Alex Ovechkin leads Washington with 32 goals, Evgeny Kuznetsov has 34 assists and John Carlson has 122 shots on goal. Defensively, the Washington Capitals are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 79 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Vitek Vanecek has given up 52 goals on 610 shots faced, and IIya Samsonov has allowed 78 goals on 809 shots.

The Philadelphia Flyers are averaging 2.6 goals per game and are scoring on 14.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Cam Atkinson leads Philadelphia with 17 goals, Travis Konecny has 23 assists and Claude Giroux has 129 shots on goal. Defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers are allowing 3.4 goals per game and are killing 76.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Carter Hart has allowed 92 goals on 1,017 shots faced, and Martin Jones has allowed 66 goals on 644 shots.

The Capitals are 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. The Flyers are 5-16 in their last 21 home games and 15-36 in their last 51 overall. The under is 10-1-1 in Capitals last 12 Saturday games. The over is 5-1 in Flyers last 6 overall. The Capitals are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

The Washington Capitals continue to run hot and cold, but they’ve been dominant in the road favorite role dating back to last season, and they’ve beaten up on the Flyers in recent meetings. The Philadelphia Flyers are a team that’s going nowhere fast, and playing at home hasn’t helped all that much. I have no choice but to side with the Caps and take the PL for max betting value.
