Capitals Preview

The Washington Capitals are 27-22-9 this year after they lost to Detroit by a score of 8-3 in their last game. Washington cut the deficit to 4-2 in the second period, but allowed Detroit to score four of the last five goals in the loss.

Flyers vs Capitals Betting Prediction 

Washington limps into this game after a blowout loss in Detroit last time out, but they need to put that behind them here. The Capitals are fading in the playoff race and need to start stacking wins up. Washington is only scoring 2.59 goals per game this season and will face a Philadelphia team that is very solid defensively. Both teams have dropped two of their last three and while Philadelphia has been good on the road this season, they are just 1-2 in their last three road games. I know the Capitals are coming off of a bad loss and they are dealing with injuries, but I like them to bounce back with a win here.
