You have to be intrigued with a Washington team that has fallen just once at home all season and at 17-1-1 why they are laying so little. What makes it look even better is they are on a roll right now, home or away with just one loss in their last 12 outings. That loss was a drubbing at the hands of the Flyers on the road 7-1, so you know they are going to bring their "A" game to this one to revenge the loss, and their "A" game has been almost flawless at home. The Flyers have been playing negative hockey in their last nine games with a sub-.500 mark, so this certainly isn't the venue to get healthy again. The Caps are now 39-13 in their last 52 at home, while the Flyers have amassed a very poor 15-41 mark on the road against teams .600 or better. The Capitals get it done here.
