The Flyers, on the second game of a back-to-back, will meet the streaking Washington Capitals in D.C. on Sunday afternoon.
Washington, winners of eight straight, are coming off an impressive 6-0 shutout win against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Philadelphia Flyers
Philadelphia just hasn’t played great hockey recently. The Flyers’ poor defense is starting to cause problems on a consistent basis, and the offense hasn’t been able to keep up.
Philly ranks 2nd to last in the NHL in goals against (137) and, as good as the team offense has been, it hasn’t been enough to bail out the defense over the past few weeks.
It’s going to be extremely tough to knock of Washington, considering how great the Caps have been offensively. The Caps will look to pressure the offensive zone and expose the Flyers’ poor defense.
Philly will need a lot of support from the offense. Right winger Wayne Simmonds, who is having a solid season, will need to be on his game. On the year, Simmonds has 17 goals and 16 assists, but just one point in his last five games. He’ll need to break that poor stretch and contribute to help the Flyers win.

Washington Capitals
The Capitals have won eight straight and are looking for their ninth. Coming off a great shutout win over the Blackhawks, Washington will look to continue its run of solid play on both sides of the ice.
The offense has been fantastic during this stretch of wins. Three games, the Caps have scored six goals, and two others they’ve scored five. It’s been a brilliant run of offense and has catapulted them into the league’s top 10 in goals scored (127).
Even better than the offense has been the defense. Sitting atop the league in goals against on the year, the Capitals have been able to contain impressive top lines and stifle teams with great offensive weapons like the Blackhawks, Canadiens, and Flames.

Alex Ovechkin has 21 goals and 15 assists on the year and has had an impressive recent stretch. He has three goals and four assists in his last five games.
Washington will hope to capitalize on the home ice advantage for this game and keep the Flyers’ weapons away from the net.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Philadelphia is 4-9 ATS in the last 13 games
- Washington is 5-0 SU in the last five games
